Thoughts on reduced pattern

[Maligator]

Hey everyone! I picked up this girl at the Sacramento Reptile Show this October as a normal. I had planned to pick up a few normal females but really fell in love with this one. She has a sheen to her and the breeder I got her from had a lot of ghosts he was selling.

She has a reduced pattern with a few stray spots here and there and I really loved her dark color. I'm a sucker for the darker morphs and I really wanted to find a cinny at the show but didn't see any females I liked (and there were only a few to pick from) so I decided to invest in other things.

Anyway! Here she is, what do you guys think of her? She hasn't shed for me yet and has been really slow to pick up eating. I had a pretty bad light source to take these pics. I don't think it does her color justice! :)

Beautiful reduced! My boyfriend has a normal male as a pet and I love him, the darker normals all seem to have that lovely sheen to them

Very pretty. I love that long black stripe down her back.

Very nice! I also like reduced.

She's pretty! Reduced pattern normals are always a good way to go! They clean up and reduce the pattern of morphs they are bred to (generally).

Very excited! Today she ate on her own for the first time! :) I've been assist feeding really small meals and she finally figured it out and snatched her mouse off the forceps. Very happy! She's steadily putting on weight, too, as when I got her she was about 60g and put on 20g since then. :D

I love her dark back, too. Very excited to see her first shed with me and how she grows up.

I have a couple of different reduced pattern females and I just love them. Yours is gorgeous!

Sharp! I'm also a fan of reduced patters. What's that saying? " less is more"
