Cool! Thanks. Good luck with the new clutch. Looking forward to seeing what crawls out...:)

I readily admit, those babies are incredible.

Desert? I'm still not ready to commit one way or the other.

I eagerly look forward to seeing the new clutch. Perhaps one or more of them will help solve this riddle. I do appreciate that you used no pastel this time. That should help bring out or effectively prove a lack of desert.

This is a pastel desert Mojave. Mystic looks almost identical to Mojave, and they look completely different.

I don't want to continue the beating of the dead horse, but just throwing out a photo reference :gj:. I don't blame you for thinking there's something extra in there, because that Pastel Mystic is SMOKIN. I've seen a few that look as nice as yours, but it's very rare. I look forward to seeing some good looking het pieds from your clutch :gj:.

Edit: Just found a desert pastel mystic as well :gj:. As you can see, completely different looking.

I'm tagging this thread mostly so I won't miss updates... but I will say you have some really purty snakes, whatever genes they carry.

Has anyone considered the possibility that these snakes carry some other gene, not desert, but not "just pastel" either?

I think the babies this year will tell us a lot. Although using a normal would have erased some questions, like "is het pied showing through and affecting it?", I still think the pairings that were done will be pretty revealing.

kc, another gene other than Desert has been brought up over the year as a strong possibility. However, with her being sold as a Desert and posted in the same manner, the backlash has been too much to mention that and go in that direction. To produce offspring yielding indisputable results has been the goal. Time will tell for sure and I don't foresee the het altering the appearance of the babies with the results that last year's clutch is currently displaying. Mom is already back on feed so things look good as a whole. [emoji2]

Really, really wish you hadn't thrown enchi in there as a possibility. The pied and het pied really shouldn't affect the appearance of the babies, but enchi may or may not (especially when mixed into other genes) pop up to further confuse the situation. A nice citrus pastel enchi (and you have a really nice citrus pastel--I'm not entirely convinced either on the desert, but then I have seen only one single-gene desert in person, so I'm definitely no expert on them) could be confused with a desert combo of some sort. I really hope I'm wrong, because it would be nice to find out that there's at least one female desert that can reproduce, and that would lead to hope that her female desert offspring might too. I just hope that enchi doesn't pop up in this clutch. Anxiously awaiting the hatching. Best of luck!

Makes two of us. I'm being positive about everything and I'm sure the "Tiger" would be easily spotted if produced over a Citrus Pastel. :) I highly doubt the Enchi got the job done since the Het Pied locked up well over 12 times easy and the Enchi only locked once. Fingers crossed on the results as well.

Definitely subbing to this thread
