First Two 2023 Clutches Shed

Well, our 2023 season has been fairly slow, but our first two clutches of 2023 have shed and I thought I’d share what has been produced thus far.

First is our Pastel Specter Spark x Bongo Butter YB clutch:

And second, our Lesser Mahogany x Mahogany Albino clutch:

If anyone wants to throw out some guesses on the combos, it would be appreciated. I know these aren’t the best photos for that though.

Cheers!

Nice clutches! You have to live the suma! I am not great at Specter or spark, but I really like the one on the bottom right, has to have pastel and butter plus probably bongo and yb? Congratulations :tada:

@banereptiles I think the one you’re referencing is a Pastel Superstripe Bongo. Not sure on the Bongo though. I think if it had Butter in the mix, the animal would be more washed out.

Holy Toledo @chromatic_creations! Those clutches were worth the wait don’t you think? I would be quite happy if you wanted to send ANY ONE of them my way……. However my favorites are the one in the bottom right of the first picture and also the one smack dab in the middle of the second picture…… I’m just sayin……. :blush::face_with_hand_over_mouth:. Cheerio! :heart:

Our third clutch has shed out. This was a DH Clown Pied x DH Clown Pied pairing. We are quite pleased with the outcome!

You must have pleased the odds gods on that pairing! Pied clowns are such a great double recessive! I want to see the head on that bottom right clown, pied guy, his body pattern looks crazy cool!

See, that’s why I wanted a look at the head! Incredible! Is that a paradox patch on its neck? It sticks out completely compared to the rest of the coloration! Great animal, I assume a holdback no matter what sex it is!!

So I agree with @banereptiles on your holdback masterpiece! His head stamp/marking looks like a near perfect tattoo! I don’t know anything about breeding and morph combos but I know an incredibly awesome snake when I see it! :snake::+1::blush::100:!
