Our Most Anticipated Clutch.

This girl is 2 days overdue, and was killing me. Everyone has that one clutch that is "the one" for the year. This is mine. This girl is not nice at all, but I didn't mind taking these eggs.

This is the girl sitting on the "golden eggs". Breeding was Pastel Ivory to Pastel Het Super Stripe. 7 good eggs, and a long wait.

Yippy! Good luck:gj:

Nice Tim! Glad she didn't make you wait too long!

Oh wow good luck! Can't wait to see those babies!

Congrats Tim! I hope you kill the odds on this. :)

Yaaaaaaa! :)

Congrats Tim that's an awesome clutch! Hope you hit on the Super Pastel Super Stripe!

Man I hope I can get on your list for something from that clutch?!? :D

Ooh congrats! And for the record, I think the female is very pretty!

Congrats Tim on the awesome clutch hopefully the odds are in your favor.. I see 2 super pastel super stripes in your future... :gj:

She may not be very nice, but she sure is purty!

Can't wait to see the babies in about 2 months!

Amazing clutch!

How can you tell the girl is a pastel specter?
She was lighter as a new born or any other trics?

Good Luck! I can't wait to see the result of these!! and stop saying that girl isn't nice, she's gonna get a complex...lol

Thanks everybody. This one is going to be a long wait. Fortunately we have a few hundred hatchlings coming betweeen now and then, so hopefully they will keep me busy enough to not think about it.

Matti,
I wish I could give you a firm answer on this, but it is not that easy. First of all, I had to trust the breeder. With that said, as a baby she looked very similar to a Pastel YB, she just didn't have the belly marker. I also have not looked at any other Pastel Het SS animals, but one thing I noticed with this girl, is that unlike most Pastel combos her mustache is not white, but bright yellow. Now, as an adult, she has taken on a different color than an adult Pastel YB. I will have to get a pick of a Pastel YB next to this girl for comparison. I do know that picking out the Pastel YB's from the Pastel Het SS babies can be very difficult, and hence the reason I bred to eliminate all doubt. It is impossible for me to produce any Het SS animals from this clutch. It makes it easy to ID the babies.

Those are gonna be some sexy babies well worth the wait ;)

Nice pairing Tim! I'm also curious about specter when combined with other mutations. It's one of those that I can typically pick it out by itself, but it's subtle enough to be hard to see in combos. It was a good choice to pair her with the pastel ivory like that to avoid confusion in the offspring. Anyway, good luck on getting a super pastel superstripe! Can't wait to see when these start to hatch!

:O that should be a good clutch. congrates.
