Bantam Corns: Possible New Mutation

Either twins or I guess maybe a baby in the bottom of the clump could have pipped into another egg and pipped again from it. Seems unlikely.

Bantam Outcross clutch. Lava Shatter x Bantam Honey het Cinder.

Love this! You’re good with puns, @caron! I’m happy you finally got some pips, @deanaii. You have been way more patient than I have this year. I’m counting on becoming more relaxed like you after a few years experience under my belt :wink:

Fantastic twins shot @deanaii! That is truly amazing. And YAY for 50% possible hets! Who are Mom and Dad of this clutch, again?

Congratulations Dean! I am so happy for you! The twin brothers are precious! All of the sweet little babes are so so pretty too! These babies are a new Bantam project correct? Moonbeam is my favorite so far but it’s still early in the game….. :blush::heart::snake::folded_hands:

I’m thankful that your efforts are being rewarded. You are very special to me……

Summer of Love theme. I can’t remember the inspiration. It was an older list I hadn’t used yet. :slight_smile:

Thanks Caron! The goals are to outcross Bantam for genetic diversity and to get Lava into the complex with Bantam Topaz being my primary goal. :slight_smile:

That’s it! I just couldn’t remember the goal. How about the name Moonlight for one of them? :blush::face_with_monocle:

Wow, twins! How fun! Shatter is one of my favorite combo morphs. I have one lil guy now, and hoping someday to make more.

These are all good looking snakes already, Dean!

There’s only one left to come out. He/she can be Moonlight if you want. :slight_smile:

Very cool! I’ve had both of those happen. There was a baby a couple seasons ago who pipped through their shell and then through the side/bottom of a neighbor’s. Lots of extra work!

Just realized I’ve had three sets of twins and only one double-pipper. Looking forward to seeing which you’ve got this time.

I remembered it happening to you! That’s why I knew it was possible. :slight_smile:

They’re done hatching, and there was one fewer shell than there should have been based on baby count.
