ST Herp - Leopard Pastel x Pastel Clutch Results
Had 6 good looking eggs from our female pastel, sired by our banded pastel leopard. All the babies went full term, but we had a badly deformed pastel that needed to be culled. First ever deformation for us here. But all in all we had good odds! Hit 4/5 Leopards with the healthy hatchlings.
Leopard female - Inherited sire's banded pattern. I'm glad I hit the single gene I like her color a lot.

Leopard Pastel female - Think this one got mom's pastel gene. Interesting chaining alien heads on her.

Leopard Pastel male - Definitely looks a lot like dad, has his really banded pattern and a bit nicer pastel gene.

Normal male - this guy was not cooperating, and I believe is the first actual normal we've ever produced(that wasn't het clown)

And then what will almost certainly be a holdback, we hit the Super Pastel Leopard - and it's a girl!

Pretty good odds and everyone is eating and doing great, so we're happy campers over here.
Thanks for looking! :D

It was definitely the single saddest thing we've had happen yet. But in many ways that's a blessing, and I've been long prepared for this to happen.

So very true. I will always do everything I can, but I can find peace in accepting the things I cannot change.
