Pastel pied I swooped up from TSK at NARBC

I have been keeping g an eye out for pastel pied with just the right pattern and I finally got one.

It's a boy, and he has a bad attitude, but we can work on that hopefully. :)

Nice looking reptile there! Congrats. I picked up a male pastel pied several months ago myself. Welcome to the club.:gj: His attitude is probably due to hunger, haha.

His pattern is super cool.
Wonderful pick up

Congrats on the swoop! you have any pairing plans for that cute little bugger?

Thanks, I'm really happy. I do have a female spotted pied he will be paired with, hoping to exaggerate the spotting in the offspring. We will see what affect if any his aberrant pattern has.

Thank you, actually it was the picture you posted of yours that really made me want to get one!

I'll be offering him his first meal with me tomorrow, I really hope he calms down aferward.

Thanks, that exactly what I was looking for, with the neck stripe.

I have a normal colored high pattern male too:

That female is awesome! I really dig those spots brother! :gj:

very nice pick up. i always wondered how to distinguish a pastel pied and your new BP helped me understand that. thanks and congrats on the new addition!

Ohhhh... I like where your going with your pieds.... crazy cool patterns or crazy spots. .. I like that! ... I didn't realize it until just now, why i wasn't too excited about pieds. Seemed like it was about how much white the snake had or not. .. I like how you switch that around and focus on how the pieds gene makes the pattern different, and not worry about how much white the snake does or doesn't have.
Thank you for thinking about things differently! :gj:

He looks perfect I keep looking for a lower white pastel pied but I havent found just the right one, im being patient with the search since I have a banana YB that im putting to my pied girl anyways

Nice pickup. Are you planning on working any Yellowbelly, Fire, or Hypo into your Pied projects? I really like what Justin Kobylka has done with bringing in the Fire and Yellowbelly genes, and seeing a video of a Hypo Pied and a Pastel Hypo Pied were what made me decide to get into the Pied project.

Great pick up, I really dig the patten

Thank you! It's a good feeling to wait and find just what you're looking for.

You nailed it! That's exactly what I'm going for and have in mind. Really hoping I can figure out how to get more of those spots to come out.

Yup, be patient and hold out for the right one. It's worth the wait.

Good question, I love Justin's animals, but I haven't seen his pied projects. He made me want to start up leopard clown projects, funny thing is I've only been building my group of animals since March, and my biggest ones are only 600g. I try not to get ahead of myself, but I have put thoughts into what to add next, and yellow belly has crossed my mind, but I decided on other genes to mix in once I get to that bridge.

First I have to focus on the spots and pattern.
