Well this place needs some activity once again so...what are you most looking forward to with your wyrms? New breeds/plans for cross breeds/your new babies from the breeding season? What about it all has you so excited?
For me it's my first wyrm who will come in as soon as Hopefulmonster mails them out. I'll finally be a brand new handler and I'm so excited for the process of naming/registering my new friend. I can't wait. Plus, I have plans for future breedings. I want a Tesla some day so that's on my agenda as well as a pipefox. Hopefully by that time I'll be good enough of a handler and experienced enough to take on some of the newer ones like the growlers and the faerie types. I have this image of a little pipefox with wings and it's so cute. (I doubt I'd be so lucky.)

A pipefox with wings would be so cute! <3
i'm really excited to get my wyrmling from the spring clutch, but I also really want to add a Hairy Nudibranch, a crinkler, and one of the new Growlers to my squirm! although, I'm also really looking forward to the furfright Wyrms, too!

Oh yes, the Furfright wyrms will be awesome. I've got a thing for zombie stuff and I remember squealing over them when she spoke about them during a stream. It's a shame I can't really get to conventions. I'm planning on going to Kotoricon 2013 though, and MAYBE Otakon. (I went for 2011, missed this year.) I bet it's even better buying wyrms in person.

I eagerly await my new teacup baby, and my new standard baby. But also the creation and debut of my Levithiathan.
I am looking foreward to breeding a flickering with a tatterwing when the next season does open up /not this skipped one but the one after/, and adopting a few new wyrms, and learning more about the genetic patterns and seeingall teh new wyrms!
Oh and taking more photos!
Also hopefully meeting the wyrm owners here in pittsburgh! I KNOW YOUR HERE I SAW SOME OF YOU GUYS AT ANTHROCON!!!!!
Oh- I also want to knit something orange for a certian orage sweater wearing wyrm, once I get some dpns, or figur eout how to do something that tiny.

Oh gosh you're getting a leviathan? That's going to be absolutely amazing. They don't seem to come up that often. What's the theme on him/her? I hope in future years I can afford to get a bigger wyrm (thinking standard for now) to cuddle. Maybe if I get a job on campus I'll be able to save up. I'm thinking the largest I'd want to go is standard for the sake of having a shoulder-buddy but who knows I may want a super big one in the future. Also your teacup is gorgeous. I love the white of the body. I certainly didn't expect white from that combo!
Does anyone here selectively breed for certain traits/colours? I sort of did. The parents of my wyrm both had dominant genes for plating, horns, and crystals. Since I love plumed gem hunters with those 'full' set of looks I picked them. I can understand the appeal of doing that as well as just going "hey let's see what happens if I cross these two!" As for colours, it's a bit harder. I figured two blue-ish wyrms would at least give me a shade of blue of some kind.

I look forward to the clutch that will be posted in September, and I also want one of those adorable Mountain Growlers. c

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the new Summer babies, and the Wyrms from FAU and FurFright all registered. <3 I want to see all the cool new color/trait combos! ^_^
And breeding season. <3 Sooo many amazing Wyrms that could be bred for amazing combos of colors and traits. <3

Yup! And what/who the leviathan is... Is a bit of a Secert. But I can tell you this is not a "themed" wyrm, this is a very specific creation of something that already exists in mythology. But that's all I'm saying!! Well maybe one thing else the eyes will actually GLOW! *so excited!!* however this wyrm is not the standard price for one of its size.
However if anyone attends anthrocon 2013 they'll see them in person, due to size/weight/details it's better to just grab my big one at the con rather then deal with the postal system. And toting said big one around will help pull more attention to hopefulmonster's booth!
Yes I totally didn't expect a full white from cypress n nyx!

I bet that'll make a really interesting wing-appearance. I kind of want to get a breeding with one of the royals some season but I'm sure it'll be difficult... and it'll have to be a REALLY good breeding pair.
As for your leviathan, sounds neat. I won't see you walking around but I hope you'll take lots of photos!

I will be looking forward to FurFright 2012, so I can get another wyrm! I certainly want to breed my wyrm with some other handler's wyrm, for fun and to see what we'll get, but I want to buy one at the con too. I really love the surprize factor of picking a sealed-in-the-egg wyrm at a con, not knowing what you'll get!
