Elemental Exotic's most anticipated pairing!

[Charis]

Just realized I never shared the pairing I am most looking forward to this year, Serenity x Atari!

They locked up within minutes of their first introduction and then again the second time they were introduced but had no interest the third time. Then Atari went blue and Serenity started looking gravid and I didn't pair them again. Serenity is currently very blue and still looking gravid, so I'm hoping for some eggs in the next two weeks or so.

One unexpected benefit to come from this breeding that I hope continues, Serenity has always been a flighty, bitey witch but since her first introduction to Atari has calmed down markedly and has not attempted to eat me since then, so far!

I love all of the Oreocryptophis porphyracea subspecies. Each are beautiful. However, my favorite is the coxi.
Good luck.

Coxi are my favorite too~

Your pair is beautiful and I hope that Serenity gives you lots of healthy eggs soon!

 

[Charis]

Thanks! I will be completely satisfied with even one fertile egg and no complications for Serenity.

Serenity just shed and was hanging out on top of her lay box, of course she had moved by the time I'd grabbed the camera and was nearly back in the lay box for these pictures.

But she did poke her head out to see what I was doing when I got into her viv to remove her shed.

Sounds like she's getting ready!
Her colors are gorgeous and her face is simply adorable too!

 

[Charis]

What we woke up to this morning! Five on the ground and one on the way.

 

[~Just Curious~]

Congratulations! They look great!

 

[Pasodama]

Awesome! Congrats!
Look forward to seeing some beautiful red "worms".

 

[Charis]

Thanks both of you! Am just ecstatic at getting six eggs from a young first timer like Serenity. Is going to be a very long wait for pippies though!

I look forward to baby pictures. The picture of Serenity peeking out is adorable!! She is gorgeous.

That really is a good sized clutch for a Coxi. Especially with a young first timer.

 

[Charis]

Serenity lost 93 grams with this clutch, I finally remembered to weigh her to see.

Some more egg pictures. These four seem to be doing very well.

But I'm a little concerned about the other two, this one is one of the super long ones, it is a very heavy egg. It has sunken in in the middle but it has good veins that seem to be growing still.

Then this other one is a bit sunken in too and has been turning colors. But it also has good veins at the moment.

 

[Charis]

The two eggs I was concerned about did go bad but guess what I just found?!

 

[Charis]

Here is the first coxi out! Weighs 11 grams and thankfully seems to have inherited Atari's temperament rather than Serenity's, for the moment at least.

And one more coxi egg has pipped this morning.

 

[Charis]

Second coxi baby is out. It came in at 12 grams of feisty. The third egg pipped this evening as well, so should be one more out in the morning. Just one more egg left to pip.

 

[Charis]

Third and so far the smallest one is out. SxA61314-3 came in at 9 grams of attitude! Definitely a chip of it's Momma's block!

 

[~Just Curious~]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
How wonderful, I love their iridescence! And isn't it funny how the smallest ones end up with the biggest attitudes? Finger's crossed that your fourth baby to come is equally beautiful and healthy, but with their father's temperament~

 

[Charis]

Thanks!
The 4th and final coxi baby pipped last night and was out this morning.

Pipping!

SxA61314-4 is 9 grams. No cross bar. Very flighty but no biting so far.
