Henry Piorun Reptile Ventures Ep 06 - The dreamsicle clutch - Dec 18, 2013

okay hi everybody and welcome to another episode of Reptile Ventures a today were just going to do a little follow-up on the Dreamsicle Clutch and since everybody liked my shirt so much I decided to wear it again, But anyway so all the up all the babies came out of the egg there's a really interesting thing that happened with this clutch that was completely unexpected first of all we'll look at the Dreamsicle and there it is and also it turned out to be a male so I just couldn't be happier about the fact that you know it really couldn't have gone any better you know to get one and then for it to turn out to be a male so I just couldn't be happier! and its it's like literally sort of like a game changer for me you know the potential for doing stuff with this guy is is pretty amazing! off the charts so yes I was really happy He's pretty low white pied. But, I guess a lot of dreamsicles are sort of low white pieds but from the pictures i've seen, But I love him He's Great! So we got the other Lavender so nice little LAV male that's ahh so yeah He's a Male so he turned out to be a male but pretty much everything else in the clutch was a female so sex ratios just work though fantastic but anyway the really weird usual thing about this clutch is there were two Axanthics in the clutch I'll just show you those guys two - both were females but they are total Axanthics so with that so - like I thought what the hell is going on here If you compare them to the normal babies there just really no question they are Axanthics I start thinking about how is this possible and I realized that what happened was back in 2005 I had purchased a Pied male from Mark Mandic and Mark had that Axanthic gene floating around in his Pied project and I'm pretty sure at that time he didn't even know it but apparently the Pied that I bought was also has a Het Axanthic and that's the Male that I used to bred to the Lavender female that gave me my Double Het Dreamsicle but that their triple-Het but the Axanthic Gene was obviously passed on to those babies both the babies turned out to be also Het. for Axanthic so they're not double Het. they're actually Triple Hets so.. Hence the two Axanthics babies so I mean if I really luck out this guy could potentially also be Het. Axanthic so it was just the total surprise Winner Winner Chicken Dinner yeah it was really just a total surprise and but it sort of shows you how lucky you have to be to even hit on a double combo on these because I could have hit on Axanthic/Pied I could have hit on a Snow in here you know the Axanthic Lavander and I didn't get any of those so it really shows you how tough it is to hit on that one in sixteen You know but anyways so that's the clutch yeah I wanna say thanks to all the people out there for all their nice comments that you have been making on it we're super happy and excited about it for sure and the cool thing is I get to do it all again next year cause that female is an absolute Chow Hound all she wants to do That's what you need when you are breeding a Chow Hound! if she's not chowing down you can forget it. that is like 90 % of the battle if females are like that then your laughing right good job anything else? anyways thanks for watching No not right now. That's it
