Help with a friendly wager - enchis with a lesser twist

Wow...
It was just a comical exaggeration.

Actually, i take that back. I had been working for days on end and that did not come across as intended. My apologies

Good luck to both of you. They do not show the enchi color until almost time to hatch. Here is a little guy i produced earlier in the year. I had hoped for some of the softer patterning i had seen on others, but he will work.

I think you should get 5 to 1 odds if you are correct. If you "hit it", a $100 Red Lobster gift card! If not, a $20 Culvers gift card to Willow..

All normals......



oh sorry, I meant that was what I would get. LOL

That is a very generous offer, Casey - thank you!!
Tomorrow is day 50, almost time to start pacing...

I got to thinking....
The eggs were found first thing in the morning on June 18. I'm pretty sure I hadn't checked since before noon on the 17th; and when I found them, the eggs were gathered and well adhered. Therefore, including the 18th in the count (as Day 1, as opposed to starting with the 19th), one could argue that this is the 50th day...and, since time for messing with things will be limited for the next few days, I decided to take a peek.
I'm fairly confident that this is a lesser; but I didn't want to make the opening any bigger because of it's position in the pile (didn't want the egg goo oozing out).


The other two eggs babies were pretty easily identified - I know at some point I have to compare my prediction, and everybody else's, to the outcome; but I've decided to wait until I can post pics of fully hatched babies. I will say that the baby pictured is the one that makes, or breaks, one person's guess.

I'm going to toss this one back out for review.
I think we can safely rule out normal (so, whatever the other two are, we know I didn't get 3 normals.....YAY!!!)
Enchi? Lesser? or the combo? You call it.

I have a 1 egg clutch cooking with the hopes of a killerbee inside, so I know how your feeling Willow. If it helps I would rather see you hit on the enchi lesser than get my killerbee.

Thats is the definition of generosity right there.

I was going to go with the smart response, and say that I would rather see her hit on the enchi lesser than you on the killerbee...but I stopped to consider that it might not be taken as a joke by some people (for some reason, I'm often considered to be without humor, and people misinterpret my jabs).
That said.....

I would rather see Willow hit on the lesser enchi than you get your killerbee, too

Seriously, though, I hope you both score your combinations from those eggs. I've got a clutch about 2 weeks behind the enchi x lesser that I'm hoping holds my first killerbee...and I'd be going nuts if I had to pin that hope on a single egg.



(I'm almost surprised nobody is disputing my call on that egg being a lesser...I figured SOMEBODY would have said that it could be an enchi. To me, at least, that small view doesn't show the "classic" lesser look)
