wow he was a really nice Pewter Nicole. it's easy to see why you spent so much time and money trying to save him. it sucks to lose any specimen to an RI but that one must have been especially hard.
On topic but different question...Has anybody noticed if adults that were produced from breedings other than Cinny x Pastel hold better coloration as they age? I figure that information is also uselful in choosing a Pewter, since there are so many to choose from now. Which also leads to nicer ones being produced. Everything comes full circle. :)
