New addition (Pied goodness)

Hatching cool stuff is one thing but adding cool stuff to your collection is sometime even better.

I have ALWAYS been very particular about what I get, it’s not about price and be able to say I have a certain mutation in my collection, it’s about the best looking animal, the lineage and getting an animal from someone reputable, with black pastel pieds I wanted something with pattern on it’s body and I found the perfect female for my collection this past weekend.

She is coming from a great breeder that produces awesome animals and someone I am blessed to have as one of my closest friend.

So here is this beautiful girl from Limey @ Royal Reptilia. https://www.facebook.com/RoyalReptilia

Best of the best Deb! Grats. :bow:

I'm not typically in to this combo mainly because I like more color and pattern. But she really is a nice example of a Black pastel pied. Definitely worth the wait and a having a picky eye is a good thing. Congrats on a great new addition.

Perfect!!!

Despite loving my 90% white black pastel pied I do prefer the higher color ones. Don't tell my girl that though...

she's awesome! the extra pattern highlights nice orange hues. fantastic pickup!

She's stunning! [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Wow Deb! Don't take her outside unless you plan on stopping traffic! Stunning :gj:

That is one sweet looking Pied!

Very pretty. As a side note, just how is the quality on a Pied determined other than who's stock it came from? I like to think I know pretty from not but I am not real sure how to establish value on one of these guys.

Usually quality in pied will really be a matter of personal taste.

Pied are very variable and usually with your single gene pieds people will in my experience go for the medium to high white, they seems to be more desirable than low white but there are people liking low white as well, that generally affect pricing.

For combos it can be the same however when you start adding genes (depending on the gene) you can go either way (high or very low white), Black Pastel Pied are one of them, usually they are very high white, head pattern and maybe a little bit on the tail, I like them with pattern on the body, it makes them more attractive to ME, does not change their value but it's what I like to see when I open my enclosures.

To me any animal in my collection is about what I really want to see in my racks, not say I have this or that, just seeing something truly appealing to MY taste.

Great choice for a black pastel pied ! I bet you have big plans for this girl, hope you try for the illusive panda pied.

Thanks, I do have a plan, always do, but I have no interest with working with Super Black Pastel combos, never have.

The plan is Coral Glow Pied and hopefully maybe Coral Glow Enchi Pied :O
