Can’t believe we’re already well into 2025! I’m hoping to do only a few pairings this year. Since I don’t brumate, the schedule for these guys is all over the place, but today I had my first lock - Kirby, a red factor sunkissed ghost motley to Cicada, a sunkissed anery, who is almost certainly red factor as well. Some not so great pics in direct sunlight:

The pair I’m most excited for this year has finally had their first lock! Dusk and Dawn, aneries het scaleless! (And a few other hets and pos hets). I’ve always wanted a scaleless and I particularly like anery scaleless, so I really hope everything goes smoothly with this pairing!

Congrats! I hope you get plenty of Anery Scaleless hatchlings. Those are probably my favorite color for Scaleless. I also like Scaleless Butters who have rich yellow tones, but I really think the Aneries are gorgeous.

So exciting when the ones you want MOST finally get together! Lots of good wishes for those scaleless hets to line up. Can’t wait to see hatchling pics!

Dusk, the male, is the pinker one. Those were pretty bad photos in full sun, so they’re looking a bit washed out, but he’s extremely pink for an anery!

First clutch of the season isn’t off to the best start. Cicada had her pre-lay shed, and
as it approached the 10 day post-shed mark, I’ve been anxiously keeping an eye on her. She’s been in and out of the lay box and never really settling in. She’s also been hunting me, like a non-gravid female. Finally on day 13, I found a single tiny slug in her lay box, but she wasn’t even in there. I pulled her out and could feel a handful more eggs inside her. I also combed through her substrate and found one hard, yellow slug. She also was starting to go blue for her post-lay shed, despite not having laid them all. Now today, day 14, she finally laid the rest. It’s a small clutch, only 11 eggs total and only 3 of those look good. But as long as they’re all out, the number doesn’t bother me!

Here’s hoping that Cicada is finished laying even though there are only 3 eggs. Her health is the most important for sure!

Poor baby, she must have been so uncomfortable. Hopefully she finished and she can recover well now. She’s really a lovely girl. Maybe you’ll get three healthy babies, which would be great. But at least Cicada herself is all right!

I’m so glad I’m not a breeder because I would always be a banana split case!!!

Oh no! I hope your Momma recovers well and her 3 eggs incubate all the way to hatching. You must be so bummed about the eggs while being simultaneously relieved that Momma didn’t get egg bound. Hoping for the best. 
and also hoping odds are much better for the Anery scaleless clutch!

Thanks! Me too! Cicada (the sunkissed anery) has never been a very big snake and she never got that stuffed sausage look that most gravid females get. Dawn (the anery het scaleless) is larger and is acting more like a normal gravid girl, mostly hanging out in the lay box. So I’m taking that as a good sign!

Yep—acceptable outcome! Will you re-pair after shed?
