Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

Finally! The last remaining egg just pipped. It's another little Phantom. No Blizzards for me, oh well.

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

There were originally 26 eggs laid, 1 was a slug and then 3 went bad early in incubation. Then, unfortunately on the 14th, 1 of the 2 remaining unpipped eggs started to look sickly and I cut it open. The baby inside was nearly full term but had failed awhile before that. It was also a Phantom. So that leaves 21 babies.

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

And here is the final baby! SxV61614-21, weighing in at a whooping 5 grams. Candled female. She has some neat patterning too.







I candled all of them the other day with the new light, there are a few that I'm quite uncertain about the results on, but first tally is 13 girls and 8 boys.

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

As of today, 13 babies have shed and been offered their first meal, 12 ate very fast and 1 refused, number 2. Not bad odds so far!

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

Here are some post shed, pre-feeding attempt pictures of number 20, he does have the neatest markings! If I was keeping any, I'd be very tempted by him! He has been spoken for.

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

All of them have been offered food at least once now. Most have eaten twice. And there were 3 that refused their first meal but one of those just ate a boiled pink.

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

Took some updated pictures of a number of the corn hatchlings. It was overcast today for the most part, so these were taken outside.

SxV61114-1.





SxV61114-6.





SxV61314-15.





SxV61114-9.





Continued ...

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

SxV61114-10.





SxV61314-13.







SxV61114-4. I tried very hard to keep these pictures organized but these next two are marked Number 4 but I'd almost swear these are two different snakes ... So don't know about these ...

Re: 2014 corn pairing at Elemental Exotics.

As a very interesting note, a local friend wanted to breed his corn "pair" this year but then found out that both are actually females. So he borrowed Vash on a breeding loan even though he didn't match up very good with their genes. Well, the first clutch from one of those pairings just hatched, the female is an Anery A with unknown hets. Surprisingly, all the babies that hatched, all 20 of them, are ghosts and Anery A's! Which means that at the very least Vash is het Anery A or possibly even homo Anery A, making him a Platinum instead of the Phantom he was sold as. Making these babies either 50% het Anery or 100% het Anery.
