While Ball Python breeding season has ended a few weeks ago and a new one is about to begin, eggs are still hatching.

Here are 2 little crested geckos that just hatched after being incubated for 75 days.

Nothing like hatching those little dragons

So breeding season is over and what a season even if a modest one! I had amazing odds this year and could not have hope for anything more.

Clutch 1 –  5 eggs 6 babies yep you got it TWINS (My very first set of twins to kick start the season)

Clutch 2 – 6 Eggs – 1.3 Pins and 1.1 Normals

Clutch 3 – 6 Eggs – 1.5 Poss Het Genetic Stripe

Clutch 4 – 8 good eggs – 2.2 Pieds and 2.2 PH Pieds and all that from Het to Het breeding.

Clutch 5 – 6 eggs – 3.0 Pins – 2.1 Normals

Clutch 6 – 7 Eggs – 1.1 Spinners – 0.1 Spider  – 1.4 Normals

Here are the highlights and a few holdbacks

Last clutch of the season is finally out, and while there are a lot of normals, I did hit on the Spinner and could not be happier.

4 Normals, 1 Spider, 2 Spinners, and an all girl clutch….really? hmm I better re-check that one when they shed, because generally it’s the opposite .

*Update: As expected when sexing  slippery snakes you make mistakes (which is why I always re-sex anyway) so final count 1.1 Spinner 0.1 Spider and 0.4 Normals…..still can’t complain
