Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 3:16 am Post subject: Need 2nd, 3rd & 4th Opinion on these hatchlings |
|
|
Just wanted to check with everyone what they thought of these, these 4 don't look anything like the others, there are a couple of other odd ones as well that I will get pictures of again. All the other 'Mac Snows' were black and white pretty much when they hatched, these ones however look different so not sure what they are exactly, let me know what you think. The one in the last 3 pictures I think is STUNNING and my son has called dibs on it, the father of all of these is a Super Mac Snow and the mothers are either triple het or High Yellow or Hypo, can't remember which is which now though but can conform if necessary, I know the first 2 pictured hatched today and their mother is apparently a high yellow or that's what I bought her as, and the hatchlings look more brown and purple looking than black and white. I may be completely wrong however, I still get rather confused with leo morphs The Female Hybino I crossed with the Super Mac Snow has 1 of her first eggs hatching as wel speak can't wait to see what that one looks like, 1 baby for me 1 baby for my son as the super mac is his as is the hybino but I do all bill paying etc so that was the deal. He is calling dibs on what I think are all the nicest looking ones at the moment
Anyway, here they are:

The last one just looks like a normal mack ?? The one before that looks like some sort of jungle/stripe on the body but has a normal tail ? It could be the case that the super hypo part of the hybino has 'leaked through a bit' I'm saying that because the super hypo is a line bred trait.
What are the mothers triple het for ?? _________________ My website isn't quite there yet, as I got bored half way through writing it.

Thanks for the opinion DrAdam, it appears that I muddled the parentage up, ALL 4 of these hatchlings came from the high Yellow x Super Snow breeding, I thought 2 of them had come from the female that was het for bel, het for tremper and possibly het patternless I really should check my tubs in future The Hybino eggs are still thinking about hatching, on has started cutting the egg but hasn't emerged yet, the other has only just started to dimple.
Do I ever feel like a wally now  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

Thanks Lynne, they are all really nice, and in a few weeks the first 3 won't look anything like they do now, the one in the last pictures would you believe was boring black and white when it was born They grow up so fast  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

Not to worry, mistakes happen
Even if it did come from the triple het female, they would all still be snows
I should hopefully have some in a few days _________________ My website isn't quite there yet, as I got bored half way through writing it.

I really like them whatever they are, and I like snows (thankfully) as we seem to have 12 of them so far, and they will all be keepers I’m going to hold back everything from this season ready for next season, so my son currently has 4 to add to his collective and the other 8 are mine Got my first pair of giant eggs yesterday I of the eggs doesn’t look that good, but I’ve put it in the bator just in case I’m wrong, should have another few due soon as well
Best of luck with yours Are you expecting snows as well, or something else? _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

Oooooooo I like the snow albinos they are very tasty indeed
One of my blizzards seems to be defective, I’ve just had my 2nd clutch of infertile looking eggs I think I’m going to put the female to the Super Snow as he is possibly het for either blizzard or patternless, I can’t remember which So probably more Mac Snows Either that or my giant red stripe outcross, I haven’t totally made my mind up yet, but I’m leaning towards the Super Snow. _________________ www.draco2.co.uk
