Hi All,
Just thought I'd post a pic of our very first clutch. Butter het Hypo x Spider.

Some strange looking patterns peeking out there. Cannot wait to see them out.

With the hypo being recessive it did not gain anything by adding normal spider to it. Do you intend putting it back to a hypo of some sort in future? The ghost/hypo butter on its own is not that wow. I am thinking that to combine that with a hypo pastel is cheap and easy and should make some really stunning babies. I guess a Honey bee is the next possibility, then Humble bee and so on.

Nice possibilities with what you have!

Thanks everyone.


@BV. Yes I am hoping some of them to be females and fall into the 50% possible het hypo option..particularly the spiders. I will them look at breeding back to dad to see what I get or the investment in a hypo pastel and mix it up there too.

Congrats Clinton and Celeste ( I think I have your other halves' name correct, getting old you know), we just need to see them critters out and about now.
Pity that Murphy got to me, but still looking at some way to cheat the budget and get a pair of Normals from you guys.

It is with a heavy heart that I post tonight. Came home to discover all except two normals and possibly the spider to be dead. Clutch 2 unfortunately much the same fate. I do not know what went wrong or what I have done wrong, but am somewhat shattered. The Butterbee would have been a beauty in my opinion.
