Panther Muffins is nice, but why not Carmenita Scarfone ? Or perhaps Toni Carbone ?

All 6 of the Panther Muffin I started turned out male. Good job, me. Gotta hurry and find something else to cross into my super maybe-secret breeding project or pop more right away. Woe is me, sorta.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I am sure you will find a creative solution.

Thanks, @GthaEnigma; I see what you did there!
I have some other stuff started, but I don't have an active stable of keepers at the moment, just the one.
I'm going to have to contact my collaborator to see what they think about another choice.
Currently I have starts of a few things and my Orange Blossom Special keeper is my only mom.
Romulan Grapefruit x Sin Mint Cookies
Blueberry Hashplant F2
HSO Black DOG fems
Eso's Welchie
I guess I could pull the Dynasty Blue Heron x Cherry Vanilla skunk clone back from the basement and use it too.
Or I could pop something new and delay the project by a week or two.

And then there's the times you're needing a stud, but you get Posh, Ginger, and the also ran girls.

That's happening with my snake collection right now, a couple of my girls need boyfriends for spring. Meg White, Sheila Osbourne, Betty and Wilma all need beaus. I love watching baby snakes hatch. Possibly more than I like popping beans.

Do I even want to know how to identify gender in ssssnakes?

Probably not, but I'm going to tell you. I've been dorking out on snakes again lately, forgive me everyone.
It either involves a move called "popping" to evert their hemipenes, (Snakes are rockin' double-dongs, by the way) or inserting a steel probe into a spot in their tails posterior of the vent.
After 25+ years of snake keeping I can tell the gender of most species just by looking at their tail, but that's a Jedi trick, some people develop it, some don't. I can tell the gender of an adult Bull, Pine or Gopher Snake (Pituophis spp.) at ten paces. Some species 100% require probing, other species can't be determined without medical imaging or actually breeding them, but the stuff I keep is easy.
I really miss having amphibians and reptiles. I used to raise iguanas and geckos when I was younger but my folks drew the line at snakes and I've never lived anywhere where I'd have room for them since (without giving up my cannabis garden that is). My girl isn't too keen on them anyways. I've been thinking about getting turtles though.

I'm very lucky that my gf of almost 20 years loves scaly critters, including snakes. I've seen her approach a 16 foot burmese python who just laid a clutch of eggs without fear, she's a champ like that. We have three aquariums and 7 snakes. We're likely to get at least one very large lizard and a couple more snakes this year.
A million years ago I had a roommate with a ball python.
Roommate comes home from working the rigs, plays around with snake, drunkenly fails to properly secure the tank, goes to sleep. Snake escapes. Roommate sobers up, searches the house unsuccessfully, before heading back to work in a few days.
It must have been close to a month later. I had cooked something on the gas stove, so the stove was warm. After eating I went to turn on a burner to heat the blades for some after meal hot-knife hits. Something caught my eye as I reached for the dial and I stopped. There in the center of the burner was a very distinct pattern.
Half an hour later after some minor stove disassembly, I had extracted a very grumpy and freedom loving snake, no worse for wear after his crawlabout.
------------------------------
Around this time I was acquainted with a guy that worked in the local pet store as the reptile handler. He also bred snakes at home and had a lot of money invested. This was the first time I became aware of the importance of hand washing to prevent the spread of disease. He was generally fastidious in his hygiene, but one day he forgot. He had handled a customer's sick snake earlier in the day and brought something home. His entire collection was wiped out.
