With all the attention on my breeding projects, it's easy for me to forget about how pretty Ace is, so I thought I'd get him out for some shots today. Ace was one of the hatchlings from my very first clutch of eggs, which hatched in 2009. He's not really breeding material due to a birth defect that has his spine kinked near the area of the hemipenes (long story), but he's still a very pretty and unusual boy.
