Pictured are three of the combos we produced this year.
They are from left to right, Sultan, Sulfur Mystic Potion & Mystic Potion.
The Sultan is a new combo we produced this year by breeding our Mystic male
to a captived hatched female we acquired a few years ago.
She proved out by not only producing the Sultan but also a female
with the same phenotype as herself. We are naming the base morph Quest.

Clutch #2 has finally started leaving their eggs. I guess these guys were pretty comfortable. So what if it's day 61. What's the hurry?
First one out is shown in the image above. It appears to be a Sulfur Mystic Potion. We'll know more once the rest get out and they all shed. There's two more Potions still in the egg. Will they be SulFur Potions? Stay tuned.

Clutch #10 is in the incubator. It was laid by a 66% phet Carmel Albino female that was bred with a double het for Caramel Glow male. Hopefully we'll prove this girl out and produce some Carmel Albinos phet Hypo.

This little guy is from our first clutch of the season. He just shed today and will hopefully be eating his first meal in the next few days.

We cut clutch #2 today. It's day 54 and the suspense was killing us. (Ok it just seemed like it was killing us) Anyway, out of 5 eggs it looks like we have 3 Mystic Potions and one or two of those may be Sulfur Potions. We'll know in a few days. Sorry for the generic egg clutch pic. I'll post an update with a pic of the babies when they come out to play.

Our ninth clutch of the year was laid today by a normal female that was paired up with two co-dom males. One of the males, a VPI Sugar is pictured in the image above.

Clutch #1 finished hatching today and the results are exciting! We'll post an update along with a picture of the babies after they shed and get a few meals in their bellies. Stay tuned, it will be worth the wait.

Clutch #7 was laid today by the BumbleBee female in the image above. She was bred by four different co-dom males and one double co-dom male. I can hardly wait to see what comes out of these eggs.

We now have six clutches in the incubator. The most recent was a clutch of 8 eggs laid today by a nice reduced and banded captive hatched female that was bred to our founding Enchi male. The image above is one of his progeny from two seasons ago.
Hopefully we'll get some more as nice or nicer.

Clutch #5 was laid today and is now tucked away in the incubator. The female that produced the clutch is a Pastel Yellow Belly and is pictured in the image above. She was a bit younger when the picture was taken. She was bred with two different co-dom males and we are very excited about the possibilities this clutch holds.

Our fourth clutch is in the incubator. It was laid by the Spotnose female pictured in the image above. She was bred to two different co-dom males. Hopefully we'll hit on one or both combos.

We have our second clutch of the season in the incubator and it was produced by this little girl. Of course she's not so little anymore and her colors have changed quite a bit.
She's a Sulfur Mojave and she was bred with our Mystic so we're hoping for some Sulfur Mystics, Sulfur Mojaves and with a little luck maybe a Potion or (can we dream a little?) even a Sulfur Potion.
We'll know in 55 days or so.

We finally got our first clutch of the season a few days ago. It's from a captive hatched female we picked up in '07. It has been a long road to get eggs from this girl but we finally have them. It's a small clutch of only four eggs so we won't have many chances to prove her out. She was bred by an assortment of co-dom males so it will be interesting to see what we end up with.

We produced our first Lesser Bee this season and she's a beauty. We're really looking forward to working her into some awesome designer projects.

We produced our first Fires and FireFlies this season.
The FireFlies are beautiful in their own right but they will be an invaluable addition to our breeding arsenal as we continue in our quest to produce the finest designer combos.

We recently added this guy to our collection. He was produced by John Cashman. He's a 2010 Clown male from BHB stock.
We've got a bunch of possible het Clown females coming up and hopefully this boy will be ready to take care of business when the girls are ready.

We just picked up a Garcia Chocolate male from Randy Remington. This project started with an adult female picked up by Randy from a local pet shop.
Randy and Marshall Van Thorre have been working together on the project and produced the first Super Garcia Chocolates this year. They are shown in the image above.

We've been wanting to get into the Super Stripe project for several years and finally the opportunity we were looking for presented itself.
Matt Lerer @ GHI Reptiles offered us his proven breeder Specter male and there's was no way I was going to say no. Matt produced some KILLER Super Stripes with this guy.
