Lemon Pastel TSK Axanthic

This has been a project for me 4 and 1/2 years in the making starting with an awesome TSK Axanthic girl in 2003 and a NERD Lemon Pastel male in 2004. This year was my first shot at making these and I couldn't be happier.

I got two in my first 9 egg clutch (ironically the only 2 axanthics were pastel axanthics) and another shot for more in a 6 egg cluth due in another 2 weeks. :D

I'll post more pics after they shed. :banana:

Thanks for looking!

HOLY MACARONI!!! Those look great! :gj::gj::gj: So are ya going to let any go? :P

Gorgeous! I think I remember a Pastel Axanthic that NERD did and he held his silver/black much better than most Axanthics do. Can't wait to see how yours do that way. Congrats on the hard work and years it took getting to this day!

They are quite pink in person with some light speckling of silver along the back. I'm hoping that post shed they will be very high contrast white/black/silver :)

Thanks!

Axanthics don't do much for me, I think they're one of the more mediocre morphs. But the pastel axanthics are a different story.

Yours looks great!! Would definitely convince me to start working with axanthics if that was the end result.

Im the same way, never really liked the axanthics but a pastel axanthic is a way diffrent beast!

Looks awsome! Congrats :gj:

What a beauty!

Congratulations!!!! :D

:banana: Major congrats!!!! :banana:
I love pastel axanthics!!!
Yours are gorgeous!!!!

Thanks for the compliments!

Good news/small bad news. All but two in the clutch have left the egg. I got a 1.1 of lemon pastel axanthics! :banana: ....but overall the clutch is male heavy :( Regardless I'll take it.

Results:
1.1 lemon pastel TSK axanthics (yes a boy!)
2.0.1 lemon pastel het TSK axanthic
3.0.1 het TSK axanthic

Here's hoping the last two are girls and the 6 egg clutch due in 2 weeks is female heavy (and has a couple more pastel axanthics ;))

I'll start a new post with post shed pics.....can't wait to see all that pink turn white!

Congrats!! They look great.

BEAUTIFUL!!!:snake:

Wow that is cool looking :cool:

Congrats! I'm with Jo, I've always drooled over the pictures of NERDs pastel axanthic...:D

Very sweet to see your efforts pay off :banana::banana::banana:

Congrats John P! That's one beautiful snake!

Whatever happened with the piebalds? I love paints, horses or not ;)

No pieds this year. One girl didn't take and the other slugged out save for one egg that died a week or so later. Next year though :D

Final Results as of this AM:
1.1 Lemon Pastel TSK axanthic
2.1 Lemon Pastel het TSK axanthic
4.0 het TSK axanthic

wow....lots of males.....I hope I get more girls in the next clutch (and maybe even some regular axanthics :) )

Thanks for looking!

Congrats and goodluck for your future clutch. :gj:

Had some time so I took some updated pics after a shed.

Thanks for looking!

Wow, beautiful animals! Congrats!

That is HOT! I hope they keep their silver :D.

Yup,

Those neonate photo's are, absolutely, stunning.

Excellent to see an up date of how these 'guys' have progressed.

Very nice indeed. :gj:

Lex

ME WANT SNAKIE!! nice job,:gj:

Congrats! :gj: :banana:

Awesome. Hard work really can pay out in the end. Congrats.

Thank you for posting the updated pics. It's fasinating to see how they hold on to their color as they mature. I was never a huge fan of Axanthics, but this cross is jaw dropping.

Dang it! Every time I open this Forum I find a new Morph I want:D

I think cross potential is pretty cool with axanthics....

What I really want to see?

Adult Firefly Axanthic
Adult Silver Streak Axanthic

:D

Thanks for the compliments!

Very nice, your persistence and dedication paid off :D

Gorgeous Snakes brah, gorgeous:gj:
