Partycake and Ringwood's first clutch, PCR23, have all shed and been offered a first meal.
On paper these are all Hypo Lavenders but they look pretty dark and red. I don't know what the heck is going on with my Lavenders this year.

Partycake's first year breeding is a great success!
11 gorgeous marshmallow eggs and just one slug, and she's looking great, though clearly pretty tired. She's resting easy and these eggs have been added to the incubator.

Will the pcr23 babies be for sale? 👀
They already were! I sold most of the clutch last year.
The last two, Danuta and Alasagn, are holdbacks for future breeding projects.
If you're looking for similar genetics, or just a really pretty pet, hatching windows are currently open for my 2024 clutches and I'm anticipating meeting new little friends any day now!

Just wanted to say pcr23 clutch is gorgeous!
Thank you, friend!
I agree, they're really beautiful snakes.
Unfortunately, they act like they know it.

Sorry if you've talked about this before, but what are you breeding for this year? I just got my first corn snake and I'm curious about their genetics
Hey friend!
I've mentioned some of the clutches that were laid this year but I haven't actually announced the pairings yet, nor the anticipated outcomes.
First off, let me say that I done proper goofed this year. My plan was to have 3-4 pairings with 1-2 backups, in case a pairing didn't pan out. But then I didn't see signs of breeding activity from most of those pairs, so I added a few more backups to ensure I had 3-5 clutches. Every time a pairing didn't result in observed breeding behavior, I'd swap them out for a different pair. Then ALL of the snakes I paired ended up fertile and laying, whether or not I saw them mating or even courting. Soooo... whoops.
Here's the list of pairs for 2023 and anticipated offspring:
YR23: Yutu x Ringwood - Lavender, Hypo, and Peach combos
HC23: Hatshepsut x Carl - testing for red enhancing genes and any hets
KJA23: Kitty Junior x Aurelian - Lavender and Peach combos
LA23: Lumi x Apollo II - Ice, Hypo combos
MA23: Mayonnaise x Aurelian - Charcoal and Peach combos
BDJB23: Best Donut x James Baxter - Palmetto
BC23: Brian x Chammers - Amel, testing for hets
PE23: Pepper x Ermengarde - Red Factor, Motley/Stripe, and Anery combos
MV23: Moth x Valentine - Red Factor Strawberry Anery
PCR23: Partycake x Ringwood - Hypo Lavender and Peach combos
SG23: Sinestro x Griswold - Diffused, testing for hets
RF23: Rosepink x Frank - Red Factor, Peach, Amel, and Hypoberry combos
PSD23: Pumpkin Spice x Dextro - Diffused, testing for hets
SM23: Snikki x Meteorite - Tessera, Hypo combos
PR23: Peekaboo x Ringwood - Peach, testing for hets
Fortunately I have the space and financial resources for a big year so I'm not stretching myself too-too thin, but it's definitely not what I had intended and I'm a little worried about selling babies in a recession economy. My overall focus is towards Red Factor and Peach in combination with various melanin-reducing traits, and a better understanding of how the Peach gene works with other genes. This is a deciding year and I'll probably be rehoming a good number of my current breeders this fall or next spring depending on outcomes.
I'm not counting my snakes before they hatch, so I guess I'll channel Neil Gaiman and just tell myself to "wait and see!"
