White patches

Hello again part2!

I have another question for you pros. Is it normal to a firefly and a pastel enchi to have white patches on their sides? My firefly has one large white area which wasn't there as a baby. I could swear it is getting more prominent every shed. Can this be somekind of a ringer-thingie?

Here a pic with flash and another in dim winter light from window (sorry it's almost night in here).

1. The firefly (here pictured next to my lessermojave for colour comparison - the patch is really white)

Lots of thanks in advance, Katima :)

That's actually pretty neat. No white patches are not normal for either combo.

HGW Enchis have will show some calico-ish white coming up the sides, very similarly to your pastel enchi. It's one reason it's one of my dreams to produce one! They're so cool looking as adults and babies! I'm not a fan of the NERD "enchi hgws" on WOBP right now (mostly because I don't think there's enchi in any of the NERD photos), but the last one by Matt Lerer is a pretty cool example of a baby :gj:. Try googling around for an adult photo, because they're pretty awesome with the white patches :bow:!

The firefly looks like a BlkEL paradox of some sort, but I find it strange that it appears to be scraped along the body, rather than how paradox spots typically look on BPs.

Oh, that is sweet! So I will send you pics of these too, when they grow or if something new happens with the patches. I wish they are genetic.

I found a pic of the Fly as a baby, there's no patch at all at that place. Weaaard. :confuse:
