Hi all,
I've finally got around to starting a 2012 breeding thread for the corns here this year.
I'll post each breeding and the details on this thread once we have eggs cooking in the incubator. I'm never comfortable publishing details of breedings until we have eggs as things change so much over the season.
If you have any questions or are interested in any of the possible outcomes of the breedings then please give me a shout (ads@procorns.co.uk). We keep a waiting list for animals and morphs on a first come, first served basis and notify people when animals become available.
We're continuing the work with test breeding our Sunkissed and het Sunkissed animals for the Stargazer gene. For those who don't know much about Stargazer, it is a nasty genetic mutation which affects the motor function of the animal and leaves them without being able to move properly. The mutation comes from Sunkissed lines originally and we have decided to prove our animals free of this gene before we let any Sunkissed or het Sunkissed animals go. We would always urge anyone who is interested in purchasing a Sunkissed animal to check that the parents have been tested before doing so. A quick google will give you more information on the gene, it is clearly something that we need to try to breed out of the cornsnake population but unfortunately is still being propogated in to all sorts of morphs by continual breeding of Sunkissed animals without testing.
The season has got off to a good start for us, we have 6 clutches in the incubator already with lots of females either just shed or about to shed before laying. It is about to get really busy, especially as we are only a couple of weeks away from the first eggs hatching!
Right - essay over, I'll start posting about breedings.
Cheers

#1210 Anery Dilute Hypo Motley X Wild Caught F1
This will hopefully create some nice het animals for later breeding. We're trying to breed the slightly weaker dilute gene back to close to the wild caught animals to see if we can produce much stronger hatchlings.
18 eggs laid 4th July

#1225 Diffused Pied X Charcoal het Diffused Hypo
The breeding here actually is Diffused Pied het hypo, amel ph anery, motley X Charcoal het Diffused Hypo. This is the female that produced Pied Pewter last year when bred to our Lexcorn Pied Granite het Charcoal.
We thought it would be nice to breed her to a Soderberg line Pied this year to see how different the pied sided that come out are.
14 eggs laid 24th June.

Hi all,
Thanks for the comments.
We do have a good few corns here! The incubator is actually a somewhat customised IKEA wardrobe! It does us well though.
I'll post hatching photos when they all start, it has only been a few clutches so far this season. It is all about to happen though for sure.

#1224 Pied het Hypo Amel X Fire Mot/Stripe
This is a bit of a test breeding and a bit of a complicated one at that! The breeding is actually:
Pied het Amel, Hypo ph Anery Motley X Fire het Motley/Stripe ph Anery Caramel Hypo
I have no idea what will come out of this! Basically we want to prove for sure that the female is homozygous diffused and see if we can get prove out any of the other hets at the same time on both sides.
19 eggs laid 4th June
