Little dreamers from MV24 are starting to rouse from their slumber!
Snowdrop and Apollo II are totally unrelated snakes, and their first Lava Snow baby (top) has a domed head despite being incubated at room temperature, while the Snow has a slightly longer snout and closer to typical head shape. Neither are kinked, at least as far as I can tell.
I'm pretty sure this is why the Ice morph has fallen off the map lately. I just don't think there's enough heterozygosity in the bloodlines to maintain decent conformation, even when outcrossing.
If I'm going to make Ice morphs going forward, I'll need to outcross a bit further back and go the long way around with multiple new bloodlines. It's going to be an endeavor not unlike correcting the bug eyes in Palmetto.
Two households, both alike in
AWESOMENESS
are going to race each other to life in an inclusive no-holds-barred event! It's the
2024 Great Corn Snake Egg Race
The contenders:
LRR24: Let's RRock!!
8 eggs laid June 1st, 2024
Larger overall but smaller in number
Mother: Lisa
Father: Rickroll
versus
SDA24: Snake Dominion Apocalypse
13 eggs laid June 1, 2024
Smaller eggs, but more of them
Mother: Snowdrop
Father: Apollo II
Which clutch will hit the gas and speed to the finish by pipping first? Who will pump the breaks and be left in the moss?
Choose a Winner:
LRR24
SDA24
I hope they both win!
The winners of the 2024 Great Corn Snake Egg Race will get an all-expenses-paid lifetime, where their every need will be provided for at no cost to them, for as long as they live! Which is good because snakes have no concept of money!
The losers will receive a consolation prize of the exact same thing but with less fanfare at the outset.
Hey you wanna see something neat? C'mere. Get close!
Closer...
egg tooth.
Well hello there!
Last two out from KJM24 are both lovely.
This clutch is already quite sweet and easy-going. I'm really looking forward to seeing them grow!
I haven't been posting about it because I've been really, really busy this summer, but a later-than-usual laying season is in full swing!
Here's Kitty Junior's gorgeous clutch of perfect marshmallow eggs, which are 30 days old today.
I've had such awful luck with heat spikes the last two years that I'm trying something completely different this year and incubating at room temperature in 100% sphagnum moss instead of my usual egg bedding and incubator.
Fingers crossed for a more positive outcome.
At long last, Sneggwatch 2023 is coming to a close with BDJB23B as our grand finale!
This first little sprout is 95% eyeball.
