My season off isn't going so well... :shifty: Just got my first clutch from Bell x Snow Blizz possible het Bell and I'm so excited! :shame: I now have six eggs cooking with lots more to come hopefully... :main_laugh: I'm only breeding five females so I shouldn't feel too bad about breaking my promise... :eek:

Wish me luck! :p

Thanks Bret and Jess!

Dad of the Snow Blizz was a 50% possible het Bell and it'd be nuts if she proves out... The other 4 eggs cooking are from him x another 50% possible het Bell... Fun fun fun!

Well we all know that people get SUPER lucky, as we've seen "a desired trait" in both clutchmates, with even smaller odds!!! So there's no reason it can't happen to you ;)

I'm definitely not counting my geckos before they hatch this year... I weighed out the possible outcomes for all my pairings the past two years and they fell well below my expectations... By now doing punnets is like simple mathematics and the outcomes stay in my head where they can be archived until I need to figure out how "this" came from "that"... Most people are the opposite and thoughts are constantly repeated... However, if I see a beautiful painting (potential offspring document I used to make each pre-season) I'm going to stare at it... :mad:

Very true.. I actually keep it all in my head too, I don't want to focus too much on how my chances of making an albino super snow are slim to none. And besides, statistics are just that, statistics ;)

I don't do the math lol. If I am stuck I know who to get ahold of. I am doing a very cool pairing next year and warned Debbie that she and I will be sitting with piesces of paper and hatchlings all around us figering out which is what and het for what. Might even need a few beers or drinks lol.

Good luck!

By this I meant, to most people, thoughts of odds and outcomes tend to be agonizing... Furthermore, we tend to be overly (word of the day) contemplative when waiting/hoping for something good to happen... My new method is to think less and stay positive... I only have so many black hairs left on my head and I'd like to keep it that way!

Thanks John!

In my case Jess, I tend to be overly optimistic...

Good times John... Good times!


Yeah it should be. I am going to be pairing Spellbound ( HG x Electric) with a cool male Bell ( enigma bloodlines) both leopards are from Debbie :D Pics of the male Bell Sunday ;)

Agreed!! I have always had the problem of thinking too much, so "less thinking" is something I've had to incorporate into many aspects of my life ;)

Thanks for the luck, and the same to you :heart:
