Looking for Pumpkins and Marrows

[jocosa]

I've been hitting the AP in my search but so far am only snagging inbreds or super messy or long lineages. I'd love to add 1-2 2G PB Pumpkins and Marrows to my scroll this year. I missed the year that Marrows dropped, which bums me out as I like them, a lot. I do have CB Pumpkins ( 1 male, 3 females), so those I can do bloodswaps on, if you'd like. :)



ETA - Due to gifts, and 2 more heading my way soon, I've gotten what I need. Thanks, very much! :)

That would be awesome, thanks so much!! And if you find yourself needing a mate for something later on, just let me know. :)

Okay, cool. My eggs are all incubated so they should start hatching tomorrow evening. As soon as I get a couple of free egg slots, I'll breed your eggs.

I'm really disorganized this year. I thought I had my Halloween pairs all lined up, then suddenly I realized I'd totally forgotten about the Pumpkins, and matched one of my Marrows up with a mate that would have resulted in inbreeding, and I kind of threw up my hands and decided to just breed whatever for myself and my friends and worry about cleaning up the mess later.

I'm feeling the same way. Last month I was thinking about it, then suddenly.. BAM.. it's time. It came up so fast and I wasn't ready for it. Plus I planned poorly with my fogged hatchie Zombie fodder, and I'm going to be cutting it close slot wise, when the new eggs drop Friday. I'd wanted to get some of the past years from the AP as well, to freeze as hatchies this year because some are so freaking cute at that stage, and I have not done that in past years. But.. again, poor planning means that will need to happen next year instead. Course if next year goes by like this year, it will be Halloween 2015 next month. :P

Fortunately, I don't do frozen hatchies, so I don't have that to worry about! I caught seven random CB eggs and grew them to adults for zombie fodder -- a couple of extras in case some of them dodge the knife, I don't kill in advance, I just kill and revive on the day. I figure if one dodges, I'll just keep it.

It's my Marrows that are the biggest mess -- they're my favorites, and I keep catching pretties from the AP with no idea what I'm going to pair them with. I've got 2Gs from Frill, from alt Sweetling, a mixed 3G tinsel fail, now this 3G from spriter's alt Wrapping-Wings -- I need to really sit down and plan mates for them all, or else just retire them from breeding.

I'm also trying to breed PB Even gens from all my CBs, and that's taking up a lot of my slots! At least my Cavern Lurkers and Shadow Walkers are done this year. (I'm only taking the Cavern Lurkers to 3G, because I only have 7 of them, and they're my least favorites anyway.) And I've never gotten around to keeping 2Gs from my 4 CB Marrows, because I always end up breeding something else from my CBs. I have 2nd and 3rd gen PBs from the AP and will get around to breeding my own 2nd gens one of these years! I only have one pair of CB pumpkins, but I've caught enough PBs from the AP to go to 5th gen. I kept one 4th gen this year, still trying to decide if I'm going to keep the 2nd 4th gen, or wait until next year. And, I have 4 pairs of CB Graves, so that's four eggs from them. Still trying to decide if I'm going to try to do them all this year. Sigh. Too many dragons, not enough time! That extra egg slot TJ's been teasing us with sure would have come in handy!
