Pastel Woma and Pastel Het. SS

[muddoc]

I posted a pic of our new Champagne last week, and made mention of some other additions we made, but was lacking pictures of them. I should have known better with this crowd. Either way, the Pastel Woma was in shed, so I figured I would wait until she was clean. Well she shed, and I was taking pics for some website work, so I snapped a pick of these two girls.

First up is our freshly shed Pastel Woma female. I really needed to add a Woma female to the bunch this year, as I won't hatch any until later this year, and why not get one with something else in there. Here she is in her fresh shed skin.


The next addition we made was a Pastel Het. Super Stripe. I have been needing to get into the Super Stripe project, and with a Pastel Ivory male growing nicely, I figured why not have a shot at a Super Pastel Super Stripe in our first breeding. I have never really studied the Het Super Stripes, and this is the only Pastel version I have ever put my eyes on. The biggest markers that I kind find are: a belly that is very similar to a Yellow Belly, but slightly less dramatic, flames up the sides very similar to a Yellow Belly, and one more thing I noticed, but I don't know for sure if it is a definitive marker, but a Pastel usually has a very white, clean "mustache", and the Pastel Het. SS has a yellow "mustache". You can see the yellow lip in the picture. Here she is, even though she is subtle.


I hope you enjoyed the pics,

Both Awesome looking snakes Tim.. I wonder however if we might get some belly shots of that Het SS. I've been curious to know how similar they are you YB's

I am busy for the remainder of the day, but I will try this week sometime. I can say that they will probably be ugly pics, as she does not sit still. You will probably see me holding her in my hand, or I may try my old trick of taking a pic from underneath a piece of glass. I will work on it for you Bro.

No hurry man. I've heard they are really close to YB's. I'm just interested to see just how close..

Again those are two great projects to be working with..I look forward to seeing what happens these next few years..

Sweet pick-ups Tim!!!

I'm not a Specter expert for sure. However, your girl is consistent with Pastel Specters. The flames and higher/brighter color are the most accurate markers.

From speaking with breeders friends who work a lot with the gene, the belly markers are altered somewhat in most cases in Specter combos. In other words, the subtle markers of the Specter become MORE SO in combinations.

Like you, I would prefer to feed 2 genes rather than one whenever possible.

I got this one from Brian at BHB, soit is from his line, and not a Spector or Whirlwind. Therefore, I am not sure what the sublt differences are between the different lines of Het SS. However, I look forward to being able to see plenty of them in the future.

Thanks for the kind words Bill.
