MONARCH....Babies and Adults!

Hello everyone, just wanted to share the latest developments in "The Monarch Project" The project is doing great and I'm excited with the clutch of visuals that recently hatched. The pairing was the Monarch Pastel male, to the original DH female, het for Monarch and Genetic Stripe. In this clutch, I produced the first Monarch Super Pastels, which is what I was really hoping for. Knowing how light in color the Adult Monarch Pastel turned out, I can hardly wait to see how light in color the Super will be!

As always, I would like to thank Steve Gooch for the amazing pictures.....he always does an outstanding job! Thanks Steve!

These first two pics show the variance between the babies. From left to right: Pastel, Monarch Pastel, Monarch Super Pastel, and Normal.

I hope you all enjoy the pics! I'm always happy to answer any questions! Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous. Loving this project!

Very nice!!

Did I miss a pastel some where?

You said the pairing was Monarch Pastel x Double het monarch gen stripe. That right there cannot throw super pastels, or at least that's how I do genetics. Anyone feel free to correct me.

You were at Tinley, right?

These snakes were amazing in person.

I've seen these pictures in the past and I'm always blown away, I just love the colours you've got there and I can't wait to see what else you have in store. Keep up the good work!

Also, I hope you're planning to be at Tinley again next year because I'm hoping I can go to that one and I'd love to see these in person. Haha.

We talked for a minute. We were the couple from Louisville, KY

I'm glad we got to see these in person.
Awesome project!

just recently i randomly stumbled upon this unusual recessive project while browsing around on WOBP, and added it to my list of interesting morphs.

and here they are :)

i love the colors of these.

I think pastel leaders are awesome.

I guess it was just meant to be! Yeah, these are some really neat colors.......excited to see what it does with some other genes.

Yep, pastels have done more than probably any other gene!!

These are just amazing. This is the first I have heard of them, but my goodness they are just breathtaking! The adult Monarch is beautiful, and the Pastel Monarch is surreal. I would love to see more combos with this gene. I wonder what it would do with Lesser? Mojave? Cinnamon? Or Pied?

Thanks so much..........I hope to have a Monarch Mojave this coming year! Sure trying hard!

Looking good keep us updated on the mojave monarch.

Wow, those look amazing!

Very interesting project! I believe this gene could do great things plugged into other morphs like fire and enchi!

Good luck with your project! Looks awesome.

Wow! I need me one of these beauties

Gorgeous!

It seems like every month I'm adding another recessive to the "need one of those" list, and these are going right up near the top!

Wow these look fantastic.

LOL I was thinking that exact same thing just now.

Love it! I have just added this to my list of favourite morphs. :)

Nikki,

Thanks so much for the compliment.....I actually have three eggs in the incubator from the Monarch Pastel X Fire. So, it's a step in that direction....just takes some time.
