Snow Bandit x Gem Snow het Raptor, clutch!

My girl Cleo (Snow Bandit) just laid me 2 gorgeous eggs. I cant wait to see what those turn out like. I know some people don't like mixing Gem snows with Mack snows. But I just had to see what these two would make. Jewel (Gem snow het raptor) is a killer looking gecko with a
pattern on his back that reminds me of the diamond shaped saddles on a redtail boa. The next 50 or so days is going to feel like torture.

We got our first Bell albino eggs!

Now I don't normally breed Bell Albinos. But these were a gift from Nevin Moyer last year. He sent me a nice pair of his Bell Albinos along with a Gem snow het raptor after I did some graphics work for him. I really loved the pair so I kept them, now I got my first pair of eggs from the two he sent me. I was sort of surprised that they laid so soon. My female, Dixie surprised me with a pair of eggs tonight. Ok maybe I wasn't really all that surprised. About a week ago I noticed she had some egg follicles. So I took her away from B.B. (the male) and put her some where so she could rest in peace till she laid her eggs. I was sort of hoping she would reabsorb them if at all possible but she didn't, and tonight she laid us some very healthy looking eggs. Good job Dixie.
