Little dreamers from MV24 are starting to rouse from their slumber!

Here's a fun little surprise. I'm back from vacation and checked my sneggs to find that Leslie Anne's mystery babies* decided to join us sometime yesterday!

I was expecting clutches to start pipping next week since I incubated at room temperature this year, but it seems that my crummy AC and poorly-insulated dwelling provided perfect conditions for 60-65 day hatch windows.

*I seem to have misplaced (possibly trashed??) a breeding record sheet before I was able to enter it into my digital records so I'm not totally sure who I paired Leslie to. I'm hoping it was Meteorite but I'll have a better guess once I see the rest of this clutch.

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.
