New Graziani pastel

Well, i finally took the morph plunge and acquired this pastel. He is my pick after browsing hundreds of ads. He is posed here with one of his possible future wives. So the big question now is "what's the next morph?" I'm thinking perhaps a spider female to pair with the pastel as well. Any advice? Hope you enjoy the pictures..chris

Nice looking pastel! The head fading is nice..

verrrry nice!

Awesome! He's gotta be related to my guy (Graziani also.) He'll see yours at the Graziani Pastel Family Reunion! (lol)

can anyone tell from his color if he will "brown out" like so many do or if he will retain his current brilliance to a greater degree? thanks, chris

In my experience the ones with more 'orange' instead of 'yellow' tend to brown out.

very nice. i love the coloring

He's very pretty, but quarantine?

Very pretty, but as stated above you should really quarantine any new snakes you bring into your collection.

actually, the female came with him. do i still need to quarantine?

Are they housed together? And yes, you should quarantine them if you have other snakes/reptiles.

Ouch; I would seperate them right away. A lot of reasons to..

it would be best no matter what. i am shure they were not housed together from the supplier. very nice snakes to.

Lovely snakeys!!!

About that spider....my :2cent:...go with a different morph for the female because spiders are one of the few morphs with no super....so a male and female spiders are essentially the same thing except a female can only produce one clutch a year vs. a male breeding up to 5 girls...but if you get a cinnamon or spotnose or yellow belly or any het, along the line you can pick up a male of the same morph and make supers (or homo recessives). Pastel clowns are cool...and how about a pewter!

Unless you think you'll be happy with just a pair....I sure wasn't...so good luck with that!!:D
