Thanks for the pics, Itīs always nice to see eggs and babies :D
Thanks! He's really something else! When I first saw him in the egg, I thought oh boy a Bumblebee... then I saw his head... which is definitely more of a Pastel. He's been around with me now for a few months, and he's still super bright yellow/orange, almost no noise and very few spots (you can count them on one hand). His dorsal markings have blushing in them as well.
Consensus from some others in groups on Facebook is that he's just a Spotless Pastel (his mother was a Spotless Normal), but I'm going to hold onto him b/c of how beautiful he is. I think at the very least, he'll make for even more beautiful combo snakes with the girls I've been keeping. I have a mojave and two butters nearly ready to breed now, and I have 2 year old Pastels, a Bee, another Butter, and another Mojave... and an Axanthic but she's of course spoken for lol! This year, I'll be keeping 2 more butter girls, a spider girl and a pinstripe girl :)
Wish I'd had more pinstripes this year! The one I had for sale was gone within a week of listing him... wild!
