Ok here is my mystery going on at the moment.. Some of you may have seen my previous posts to sell my 1.0-07' Pastel breeder... I also have an 03' "normal" female..

The mystery began when these two bred and produced this last season. My female laid a clutch of 5 and every single one was pastel. With most having the brightest yellow ive ever seen along their top-side. Most have jet black markings that do not fade. An orange dusting along the sides and pure white belly's. Ok these could be reffered as high yellows or lemons or maybe something else but it gets stranger.. Half of them have blue to blue?grey eyes.. The others have the greenish/tan color of any good pastel like the father does.

Ive spoken to my local herp shop owners (private familt owned) and they think the babies are beautiful. They have seen them 3 different times now for comparisons and they are still amazed at how well they are holding the color.. Plus the eye color..

Ive spoken to Ralph Davis about this as well and he too doesnt seem to know quite what to say other than to hold back and breed back to solve this mystery. He also said my babies yellow top-side seem to "glow".

My questions are.. My female was originally an import. I had her vetted for parasites etc, back when i got her in may of 03'. She look normal but i was wondering for awhile if she's possibly a YB.. Even still, how could i get 100% Pastels? The blue eyes?

Can anyone tell me if its possible for my female to be het for something and what it is she could possibly be het for? What else carries the blue eye gene? I know of mojave's but my girl is not that. I am definately holding back and breeding back between offspring x mother and offspring x offspring. But until then.. Any ideas??

I'll include a couple pics of my female. You can clearely see she does not look that special. I know its sometimes hard to tell a YB from a regular as well. Does anyone think shes a YB? These are current pictures..
