I posted most of this on another Forum but this is very exciting for me so I thought I would share it here on GeckoForums.net also. Here goes.
I bought a Male Mojave in the summer of 2004. I purchased him right before MKR dropped the bottom out on Mojave’s so I paid way too much for him. To make things worse He has never produced any offspring for me even though he has been a breeding machine. I was finally beginning to think that he was sterile or something. The fact that he is incredible looking only made it harder to take. Well two months ago I finally got a clutch of seven eggs from a Female I had only bred one time (very early in the season), to another Male. The Mojave was bred to her all of the rest of the times. The other Male was a Super Pastel so I knew if I didn’t get any Mojave’s they would all be Pastel’s. I was very relieved this weekend when one of the eggs pipped and I could see it wasn’t a Pastel. When I cut the rest of the eggs I was surprised with three very nice Mojo’s. Here is a picture of the clutch after I cut them.
They all came out of their eggs by Sunday and the total was three Female Mojave’s. Oh Yea!:main_thumbsup:
Here are a few pictures of the first one out.
Here are a few of the second one out.
Here are a few of the third and final one out.
Here are a couple of breeding pictures. As you can see He is a pretty incredible looking Mojave. I am sure you can understand why I really wanted offspring from him.
Well now that I know he can actually reproduce he gets my big Female Pastel this year. I can only imagine how nice the Pastel Mojave’s from that breeding are going to look. Should be fun.
I guess I will be purchasing a new rack soon since all three of these Females will be staying here with me. :main_laugh: This sure is fun!:main_yes:
