Goldfinger project clutch 1

It feels like I've been waiting forever to see these guys hatch, and they are now all out of the egg. Lustro, Spaniard's male has been proven to carry the Goldfinger gene, as well as a couple other surprises.

Here are the pics.

First four out, There's the Goldfinger pastel!!...and an interesting head pattern.

Not a bad first clutch of the year. One more Lustro clutch to hatch next week, and I can't wait!!!

Very Nice!!! Big Congrats!

Oooooooooo, that's super cool clutch. Can't wait to see the post-shed pics.

Wow they look amazing. That head pattern looks so clown like. So whats the genetics on the goldfingers? They are sweet:gj:

I cant help but think of the old James Bond theme song from Goldfinger.

That is an amazing project!

Justin

How exciting - and so complicated trying to figure that one out!

Very Cool Project! The babies look INCREDIBLE!

:banana:

I couldn't be happier with the results of this clutch. It was a pleasure doing this loan with you. But how could you not be as happy as a dancing banana with babies that look like that!

:banana:

Beautiful clutch!

I'm in love with that reduced normal.

I need him......now. :)

That's amazing Evan, can't wait to see the rest. Also I'll see you at the show this coming year.

Wow......


Just wow.....



Those be some hot snakes!

Ha! I already told Rich that she needs to come and live with me!

That's awesome Evan. However, it is still a jumbled mess in my head. I wish I had a project like that to confuse me. Congrats on the further developement of the project.

Wow those snakes are incredible!

Those are simply stunning! Some of them make me think of the Circus Ball...the one with the mysterious het-clown gene expressing in unexpected ways. The body patterns don't really match up, but the head patterns are just like it. Any chance there's a little het-clown floating around in that clutch? :P

Whatever is going on...it sure is beautiful and exciting! Please don't forget to come back and share post-shed pics and growing-up pics! (As if Rich would let you forget! :D )

Confusing/interesting -- but STRIKING!! :gj: Great project. :)

Q: Is a clutch a batch of eggs?

Very cool, happy for you alot of hard work paying off!!!! :salute:

Yes it is :)

Wow, love the head pattern on those guys! Big congrats on furthering that project!

Really wicked looking balls there! Congrats on confusing yourself and us more! :D
Definitely something weird going on with that gene.

Great project! Have fun working on that and please keep us updated.

Was the mother a normal? or a Pastel or a het for goldfinger project?
Carol

Mom was a normal; you can read the background story at Evan's site.

My pastel sired the clutch, I had originally purchased him from Evan a few years ago and was contacted about doing a breeding loan after the first goldfingers hatched out. So this pairing was Mother (normal het GF) x Son (Pastel het GF)

Wow that blushed out one is sweet looking! :cool: The colors remind me of a caramel clown but ontop of a pastel pattern. Big time congrats! :banana:

Real, real, real, real, real:D nice clutch you got there!

Daniel

Congrats and I agree with most everyone when I say this project is confusing!

Good luck sorting out hets for future pairings and we demand more pictures!

Congrats guys can't wait to see those babies shed.

Thanks everyone! I have been so anxious this season to see what ends up popping out of those eggs, and I the result was just what I had hoped for.

The reduced head pattern may be simple inheritance, it seems possible at this point.

We had another clutch from the line hatch this week from the original GF sire to a normal sib, and no goldfingers or head patterns. One more clutch to go, Lustro x GF line pastel. That should answer some questions...hopefully.

The pleasure was all mine, I loved having him around for a while, and I never doubted he had the goods!!

Thanks Judy, I will definitely be posting more shots soon. As for the head/neck pattern, no het clown that I know of. Both parents have somewhat reduced head/necks, but not to that extent, and it seems the babies have it or they don't.

This has made my favorite season yet, and there is still plenty left!

-Evan

The Pastel Goldfinger looks like a Super Pastel Orange Ghost. At first I thought it was a super pastel but it seems like that's not the case. It's interesting how the "normals" have odd patterns. This looks like such an awesome project, how long before you start selling them or have you already?
