Updated 7/23/07

Here are my planned pairings for the 2007 breeding season.  There are 16 potential pairings for the season!!

All brumated snakes were fed their last meal on 9/29/06 (1 week earlier than 2006 season).
Heat was turned off on 10/13 to room temperature, and they were placed in cooling (outside wall) cupboards on 10/20.
Temps were maintained from a low of 48 °F to a high of 55°F, some males got down to 44°F and came through fine .
Brumated snakes are being brought back to room temperature, 64-70°F, as of 12/15, and their heat will be turned on to 80°F on 12/22.
Their first meal is scheduled for the week of Friday, December 29th.  I may feed any day from Tuesday through Friday.
Breeding has begun. Pairings have also been updated below.

The female became egg bound after laying 1 egg on her own. Of the eggs which were extracted, only one hatched with a healthy snake. The other 5 eggs had hatchlings that died in the egg. 2 undeveloped, 2 near term blizzards, 1 charcoal that didn't hatch.

I had originally wanted to pair this female with my Anery Motley, but changed it to the Hypo Lav. This female was bred a second time on 4/29 & 5/3.

This female was bred a second time on 5/10 & 5/14.

The female wasn't brumated, but recently tipped the scales at 300+ grams, so I decided to see what would happen if I put this first (2nd) time male in with her. They hooked up!

So far, all the eggs are covered in white fungus and cutting open 4 of them revealed that they weren't even fertile. We'll see what happens with the remaining 3, maybe I can get lucky.

None of the eggs from this clutch hatched. :(
