She looks great. Keep us posted on her progress. Can't wait to see what she gives you.

Re: My dark girl
Amazing looking girl. It's like she has most of her pattern on a dimmer switch and decided she'd turn on a few lights. Can't wait to see the babies she makes.

Thanks folks!
Here is a picture from Thursday, next to a normal female. This pic was taken in super high light, and doesn't do her darkness justice.
And I thought she looked impressive even before the comparison pic....
One thing I was thinking about, and I hope you have too. Since you said she looked mostly normal when she was younger, how sure are you that you'll even know if any of her hatchlings show this trait? Do you plan to hold them all back until they've got some growth on them?

Hi Casey,
You raise a good question. Fortunately I have plenty of space to grow out a full clutch, and I do plan on holding them back, at least long enough to prove or disprove her genetics. I am not expecting a large clutch, possibly 5 eggs.
I wasn'tt even expecting to breed her this year, but she put on size so well, that I couldn't resist when we discovered her bf was producing plugs.
