I had decided that November 1st I'd start my pairings.

I'm only planning on six clutches this year (well seven if you count the female from a breeder loan that's staying with my friend a second season to breed to my enchi's brother).

Anyway - I'm excited to see the quality of lemons that can be produced by pairing this guy:

with these girls!

This one he was locked with last night:

and he'll also be up to bat with this girl:

He produced these babies (ball gods didn't like me last year - only produced two pastels) last year:

when paired to this girl:

This season, I've decided to pair her with my mojave:

I hope that I've paid my dues my first season with the ball gods - with 10 pastel eggs, I got 2 pastels and 8 normals and with my possible het clown clutch, I got 3 males and 1 female.

Although - I guess I can't complain - on the breeder loan, we had 11 eggs, 8 spiders and 3 normals with an even split on sexes on the spiders. :cool:

Yeah, you do have some very hot pastels - there's one in particular that I wouldn't mind in my collection!

I'd worry more about Brandies pastels right now though! LOL.. Not that Robins wont look good.

Do I know Brandie? Do you have a link to her pastels? I do love seeing NICE pastels and I hope that the ball market will start trending towards selective breeding as its future!

Good luck with your pairings

Thank you :D


Thats until I find the right girl for Tater..... then IT'S ON!!!

You'll find her, Bryon! I have faith!
