This breeding season we have so many amazing options to breed to! It has been a difficult choice of who to breed and who to hold back for the following season, but we finally did it. Introducing our 2026 line up for this year. There are some new faces and some good old boys being brought front and center.
Due to poor fertility last year, we changed up some husbandry habits. It seems to be doing everyone a bit of good. We have 5 females breeding this year in hopes to have at least 3 good clutches to produce from.
First we have a new female named Autumn, the Mojave Goldblush. She will be paired with one of our very own, in home produced males, Apocalyptica, the Black Pastel Leopard Pinstripe (possibly something else in there too). We chose to not go with the BEL complex with this pairing to bring out that beautiful Goldblush with hopefully some Pinstripe, which is also a golden toned gene and will play with pattern, too.
Next is our BEL complex group. We have Sterling, the Bamboo het Hypo; and the beautiful Pranee, the Bamboo Pastel Disco. They will both be paired to Fester, the Lesser triple Het Clown Albino Pied. We wanted to have some BELS if at all possible and see what happens to Lesser or Bamboo when mixed with not just 3 but possible 4 hets from Sterling, and see how the Disco and the Pastel play on possoble triple hets in Lesser, Bamboo, or normals also.
We have for our last pick of the season is Oracle, our newest female, who is a Lavender Albino. She will be paired with Zapper, a Lavender Albino Spider (beautifully named by my husband). Now, we know that there are some issues with the Spider gene that have been found to be linked with inner ear issues, and with a low stress young life can be improved with age. So, with that understanding, some of these babies may not make it. Howevwr, we want to give them the best care possible and bring some beautiful healthy babies into the Sugar and Ice world.
Now, if you have read ALL of this congrats! You like what we do and I am so honored to have you on our journey thus far. The last pairing we haven't decided yet. We have some ideas and would like some input. We have
• Banananaconda (albino) × Fester (Lesser trpl het albino, clown, pied).
• Scarlett (normal Dinker) × Fester (Lesser trpl het albino, clown, pied).
•Calliope (leopard pin) × Capt'n Hook (Super Banana female maker)
We need help choosing! Please let us know what you think!
