pastel hatchling post shed.

[Bruce Whitehead]

My one surviving pastel from my first ever clutch... and my second snake to pip.

Here is sans nom (he will get a name in time... debating between Umberto and Ronald at the moment but neither is really working for me).

The pic quality is not so good... or rather the lighting sucks. I need a non halogen, as they throw a yellow wash. But the face is the face and it is too cute for words.

So here is he is post shed...







I will hold him back even though I have a male. I need to be able to get a feel for how they mature and what they will look like as they shed out. I got his dad when he was around 450g.

Now just have to get him eating.

Thanks for looking,
Bruce

And here are a few pics of dad (then and now), so fingers crossed that he holds his yellow as well.

Awww look at that sweet face! He's a keeper, Bruce, and heck he'll be another nice male pastel to sire some interesting combo's for you down the road.

The baby is cute and the dad is really handsome! Hope the baby keeps his colors as well as dad did, cuz dad really looks fantastic!

Thanks Ryan, Scott, Jo and Casey.

I am pretty smitten at the moment. I thought snakes were fun, but baby snakes... that is a whole new ball of yarn. Cute!

I have been squeeked at and lunged at so far! Not by him but by the normal sibs.

My adult male was sired by a Graziani line pastel that had great color and amazing blushing.

Gotta go and stare at the babes a bit more...

Thanks for the comments,
Bruce
