Announcing Isabelle, my first morph! (Wall of text warning, lol)

Well, I am finally feeling like this is real enough to share, so here goes-- I am officially getting my first morph in about 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier with her!

Isabelle is a whopping 70g of stunning 0.1 Pastel. Stay tuned for a Good Guy review of her breeder and some fabulous photos by BHReptiles!

I've been in correspondence with Breanna at BHReptiles for several months now, shooting the wind and talking prospects for a potential buy. Her two clutches hatched out within a week of each other in early October, one made of Black Pastels and normals, the other a survivor clutch of two viable eggs. Breanna sent me photos of all available Black Pastel females after their first shed at my request, then tacked on a photo of the available baby girl from Clutch #2, and it was love at first sight.

This was her pre-shed photo, and even with her egg-skin still on, my jaw dropped. Keep in mind, Pastels have never been a particular favorite of mine as far as single-gene animals go. But as I fought with myself about where this female could fit into my breeding plans, I realized that every combo I want to go for in fact has Pastel in it. So it feels sort of meant to be, lol!

Here are the post-shed photos Breanna was kind enough to send me after I voiced my intense interest:

Breanna has really been as helpful and patient as humanly possible through the process of putting my deposit down. She's kept me up to date on the hatchling's weight and feeding response, and bore with me as I waded through some tedious go-arounds with my bank to secure the deposit. Now I'm about 2 weeks from officially having Isabelle in my hands!!

I am just too excited, it feels like Christmas came early for me this year!! :D

She is a very beautiful little lady. I myself am interested in getting a good female morph so that later on down the road I can try my luck at breeding, but that won't be for a very long time yet. I still have a lot to learn about breeding and caring for a clutch of eggs and hatch-lings. I worry I may be going to the vet often for mistakes or health problems. >.< But your girl is very vibrant and beautiful and I love her. :) Congrats on your beautiful prize!

Man she is a little beauty queen!! Such a pretty pattern and vibrant bright colors :) congrats on her! Gotta keep us updated! Can't wait for you to get her haha I wanna see some pics of her. She should look very nice with some more weight on her when she gets bigger. :)

Me either! I'll be finalizing her tank tonight, blacking out the sides and part of the front, and finalizing temp management. I think I'm even more excited for her than I was for Magnus, and that's saying something!

Congrats! She's a pretty little girl!

Very pretty little lady. :) Congrats!
