Picked up this female lemon blast today at the Pittsburgh Reptile Show. Will get all of my new additions under the light tent soon.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/21/uregybaj.jpg

it looks like it has not eaten yet, the head looks so big compared to the thin neck. do you know if it had meals already?

the pattern is very nice, but the color is not ideal, on the sides you can already see the line above which it will most likely get darker with time.

Congrats!

Breeder starts them off on mice and then puts them on rats later on. She had 4 meals so far. I myself never start on mice, so I will be throwing her a rat pink tonight. Her colors are nicer in person, not the brightest yellow I've seen, but still vibrant enough to catch my eye. Even if she browns some, I really dig the pattern, the brightness on the bottom half of her pattern and the light patch on the back of her head.

Yes the pattern is really very very good. Do you have more recent pictures?

As long as you like her that's the only thing that matters anyway! I think she's beautiful :)

No recent pics, just picked her up yesterday. Will be getting all of the new acquisitions under the light tent in the near future. I will post them when I do :)

Thanks. It is always in the eye of the beholder. I know everyone likes bright colors that do not brown out, however, I believe that the overall pattern itself has to also be considered. I have a 2007 pastel male that has browned out some, but his pattern is what caught my eye and what was the deciding factor in my purchasing him several years back.

congrats! nice pick up!

Nice pick up..does look thin,start feeding her right away.

Nice little girl :)

Just put a rat pink in with her tonight. Tongue was flicking but no strike. Leaving it in for a bit to see if she takes it.

She took her first rat last night. Went up and checked around midnight and found her with a nice little lump in her belly! :D

That was what made my decision with Mocha, my pastel girl. I knew she would end up a little dark, but I really liked her blushing and busy pattern, and also her temperament. She's such a sweetheart and at the very least is a perfect ambassador if I want to show my snakes, but I will breed her to my fire spider this year and see how things turn out.

She's awesome bro! Very perty:)

She's been taking rat fuzzies every 4 days here and has not refused once! I usually feed every 3-4 days until they reach 300 grams. At that time they go on the weekly schedule with the rest of the collection.

Thanks Jay! I'm hoping to have a few 4+ gene males to throw at her by the time she is up to size!
