    pewter plus something else??

    So I got a female Pewter about a year and a half ago at the Daytona reptile show, and as everyone knows, when they are small they look silver, and when they get larger, their color changes. Well mine looked pretty normal when small, but as it is getting larger, I think she looks much better/different.

    Also when I picked her out, we noticed she had silver in the top half of her eye, which she has kept, which I also have not seen in others.

    Any ideas as to what else might be in the mix?

    I think she's just a really high quality pewter.
    The yellow is the pastel coming through, which indicates a very quality pastel was used to make her.

    I've just never seen a larger one look this light.

    I also picked up a male that looks more normal, and I'm curious to see what comes out.

    Looks like a really nice pewter to me. The silver in the eye coincides with the silver streak down the side of the head and is a normal finding.
