Wow! Now there’s some fantastic proof for the saying, “Incubate until there’s no debate!”

Nice! Looking good once they’re out! Hope the laggers get with it before the advent draws those unpleasant little phorid flies. I guess that is less of an issue in your climate, though.

Ended up getting 5 babies from that clutch, very small. One is taking tail portions. I have been lagging to take new photos- very similar to the other clutch just a lot smaller.
I can’t keep them all so I have begun to list females, I don’t know what made me think I was going to keep them all- already have 6 girls from last year.
The plan for now is to be up front with anyone who is trying to buy a pair which I think is fair. I will also only produce outcrosses from now on- I have enough interesting snakes to mix in with them to keep me busy. .

As an enthusiast of all things speckled and dappled, I’m a huge fan of this project so far! You’ve had some great success it seems so far, which is amazing to hear, even with any setbacks like kinks and whatnot, this looks super promising

Thanks - if only I could get more buzz around them or something- I have reduced price a great deal. I have jumped every MorphMarket hoop for the purchase protection plan even though I dislike the wording on shipping in time considering the heat in my location does make for delays. Shipping one today to a patient saint of a customer finally (but not a leopard). Anyway, rant over back to work. Here’s pics of the little vanishing stripes for tax lol

I’m surprised there isn’t more buzz. They’re really beautiful.

You have some really lovely corns! So sorry you are having trouble moving them. I’m sure that dealing with unreasonable buyers is not fun either. Don’t know if you have thought about trying the auction avenue……

I really think it’s everyone right now as people are worried about other expenses right now. Logic dictates I will produce fewer if any and focus on other stuff next year. Lord knows I have a lot of project snakes lol

This totally. If I had more money for funsie stuff at the scale of another expensive animal, I’d easily cop up 300 on that precious anery dapple you have up

Thanks I hear ya. Can’t afford nothing here either that’s why I tried to do a bunch of collabs with other people this year and got some babies I otherwise couldn’t have. My friend Chris loaned me a Miami goldust tessera that I bred to 2 of my girls and I sent my heliconia girl to Mike Motleys who put her wtih a gorgeous tessera salmon ultramel anery. Both males that would have been out of my price range. When you’re poor you got to wheel and deal and look for steals…

Late but better than never, to add these photos of the teeny tiny second clutcher leopard motleys from the OG pair, I have only gotten one to eat. I just don’t have tiny enough mice. These guys are actually on their way to someone who wants to work with the morph and has experience starting runty snakes ;). I kept the one stripe that is even smaller… but happily taking tail sections so I am sure he will be able to take small pinks soon, which are ordered.

They’re amazing! Fingers crossed for them to start chowing and growing.

It’s so nice to have friends with experience who will take your tough feeders. Corns seem to have a great community.

They’re such lovely little ones. Hopefully they will soon be getting full bellies on a regular basis.
