Finally get to see an offspring from this one
If you followed some of my threads you know I have had one Lesser het Ghost that I purchased years ago believing it was a female. Kept having trouble with it going off feed and couldn't get it up to breeding size. Sent it to a breeder friend of mine who raises all kinds of prey items for food to see if we could get her eating regularly which finally culminated in her getting to a breedable size after four years. Tried pairing her with a male and all heck breaks loose in the tub. So now I suspect my She is a He. We place her with a female Mojave and very quickly get a lock. Now I understand why she, it, he kept going off feed. So now I know it's definitively a HE. Fast forward to eggs hatching and we get 4 Bels, 1 Normal, and 1 Lesser. The nice thing about the ending to this story is it looks like the clean pattern of the father has passed on to the baby, which is what I really was interested in. Now I just have to figure out how best to use him. I will be keeping one of the BEL females. Anyways, here is a picture of Dad and then a couple pics of it's baby. This is still one of the cleanest brightest Lessers I've seen to date, and it looks to be genetic.

Thank you. I presume it will fade to me more like the father as he was quite a bit brighter as a baby. Here is a pic of Dad as a Baby for comparison.
