Hello Everyone,
I am creating this thread to show what I have going on this season. But rather then do separate threads for each clutch, I will just post them here as the y hatch. So without further ado.
Clutch #1 0.1 Enchi Pastel Orange Dream het G-Stripe X 1.0 Pied Ghost
Everything in this clutch is automatically 100% het for Pied and Ghost as well as 50% het for Genetic Stripe. The really interesting thing is all of the co-dom genes are stacked on one side with the female. Since I am not a statistician, I can’t begin to calculate the odds that all 6 snakes in the clutch would came out with same result and further more, it looks like they are all OD Pastel Enchi. I welcome opinions but If I am correct, I believe the statistical term is “Crushed It”.
I’m curious how you found that number though. I’m trying to think of different possibilities but I’m not sure what combination would result in that. Now I’m just curious to find the probability.
Here are pics of the first three to shed. All girls. I am not sure what is going on with the other three. So far they aren’t showing any signs of shedding even though its been 14 days since they hatched. I have had this happen once before where a baby doesn’t shed until the clutch has their second shed, but never half the clutch. More to come.
It’s been over two weeks and 2 of the babes are still hanging on to their wrappers. Here are some outdoor pics of the 4 that have shed. Hard to tell them apart.
Thanks Shaun. Yeah, I’m quite happy with their looks. I wish the last two would shed already so I could pick a hold back. I believe they are all female so only need 1.
Well, they have all eaten, even the two that haven’t shed. They are all females and they all look so similar. The question is, “How do you choose a holdback?” I’m leaning towards 4, 5, or 6, but I don’t think I can go wrong no matter what I pick. Let me know what you think.
Agree with @lumpy, six for sure. To me, looks the cleanest with the reduced banding. I would go for one and four after that pick. They are all beautiful bps.
Thanks everyone. I am kind of fond of #6 as well, but I really appreciate the clean but busy look of #4 as well. I am definitely going to have to wait until 6 sheds before making a final decision. It comes down to adding pattern or reducing pattern.
