2011_35		Pewter or Enchi	Pastel
Laid 2011/12/12		Hatched 2012/02/09	Clutch size 4
Notes	I'm holding thumbs for the enchi. Pastel enchis are awesome. Although I won't mind getting another silverstreak. I hatched 1 last year and she's just getting better and better. Good stuff!! The enchi is the father and I ended up getting 1 pastel enchi, 1 enchi and 2 pastels. I will add pictures later on. I WILL NOT BE AT THE UPCOMING EXPO IN MARCH. I will however go to the SOS expo in May.

2011_32		Pinstripe	Normal
Laid 2011/11/15		Hatched DNH	Clutch size 1
Notes	Yes!! Only 1 egg. She laid 3 slugs and 1 good egg. I hope it's a pinstripe and not a normal. That egg died as well.

2011_31		Satin Black Pastel	Normal
Laid 2011/11/14		Hatched 2012/01/12	Clutch size 6

Clutch		Sire	Dame
2011_29		Pastel het Axanthic	Pastel het Axanthic
Laid 2011/11/09		Hatched 2012/01/07	Clutch size 6
Notes	Dejavu! I tried this last year as well. That time I got 9 eggs and missed out on the super pastel axanthic. Hold thumbs I get it this year. Dejavu! No super pastel axanthic. There is a super pastel pos het axanthic, but not the real thing. In fact there is no axanthic at all. Only 4 pastel pos het axanthic and a pos het axanthic. Crapola!

Clutch		Sire	Dame
2011_28		Codom/Dom	Normal
Laid 2011/11/09		Hatched 2012/01/07	Clutch size 7
Notes	Yes, I really don't know. I know it's either a dominant or a codominant male or a combination of the 2. Lucky packet!! Can you believe it!! I hatched 2 axanthics out of this clutch. So the female was het for axanthic and whatever the father was, was also, but I can't figure out which one it is seeing none of the babies has his codom or dom gene.

Clutch		Sire	Dame
2011_27		Butter	Normal
Laid 2011/11/08		Hatched 2012/01/06	Clutch size 7
Notes	A mojave male was also involved, but I think the dad will be a butter male. Should get 50% butter and 50% normal. As expected the butter is the father. I got 3 butters and 4 normals out of this clutch.

Clutch		Sire	Dame
2011_26		Ghost	Pos Het Ghost
Laid 2011/11/07		Hatched 2012/01/05	Clutch size 7
Notes	I hope this girl proves out. If she is a het ghost, 50% of the babies should be ghost and 50% should be het for ghost. Nope. Looks like she's a normal. Hatched 7 100% het hypos.
