Super Pastel DOA

I had a 9 egg clutch from a pastel x pastel pairing and I believe I have 2 supers, the best looking one however, also happened to be dead on day 54.

Here's a pic:

I hope the other makes it for ya. Hope all's well.

Sorry dude..That sucks! Hang in there...

Oh no, what a shame! It was so beautiful, too. Did you ever figure out what exactly went wrong? :(

That's a real shame. Sorry.

No, I didn't. The weird thing is I think I have some more supers, but none of them look as extreme as this one. I will know more when they finish their sac's and crawl into the world.

Maybe there was something extra going on with him genetically. Who knows, it might have had something to do with the fact that he died. Good luck with the others, anyway. You deserve some after this.

Some other clutch mates have really light head patterns, but not like this:

Pattern and color are some of the last things to develop. Chances are, this snake didn't develop it's color completely and though it's body looks fully developed it's a bit premature. This could explain the reasoning for such a light snake with such little contrast.
