Heres the story on this animal. I got an imported gravid female back in 2006. She laid 7 eggs and when it was time to cut eggs i was on egg number 4 and after 3 normals i was like what is this. All i saw was a white and yellow looking sheen with pattern. As i cut a little bigger this animal was weird lookin. I put the egg back and cut the rest. All normals the rest they way. So i went back to this funny lookin guy and wanted so bad to yank it out but i let them be. About 5 days later i woke up to 3 out of the egg and this little thing half way out. Then about 12 hrs later he was out. I was amazed by what he looked like. He kinda looked like a super pastel but he had that white look to him like bumblebees have when they hatch. Fast forward 6 months. He was really showing signs at this point of a weird looking pastel. I had a couple other breeders who had followed his story offering me crazy money for him but i knew i had to hold on to him. Fast forward to fall of 2009 i cycled him through 4 normal girls and after a failed attempt in breeding the year before i was sure he would breed. nothing took. So last fall i put him with one girl and kept him with her and finally he bred. April 15th of this year i had 5 eggs to cut from him. First egg normal, second egg normal, third egg a weird looking pastel looking thing similar to what he was as a baby, 4 th egg normal, then jackpot, egg number 5 had an animal i have never seen. It hardly had any pattern to it. But it had the wied yellows in it like he has. If you can imagine a sterling that is yellow thats what it looked like kinda like a fader thing going on i dont know. So the animals come out of the eggs and this weird baby isnt doing good. Had good size but very lathargic. I called my vet who buys rodents from me and he said he would come over the next day. Well it didnt make it through the night. I was so friggin dumbstruck and just destroyed. So now is the time to try it again and this time im going big. Im putting him to 4 girls. A 3500 gram normal, a 2400 gram pastel, a 1800 gram spider and a 2000 gram yellowbelly. Since i am convinced he is something special i am going all out with him to try and see what his deal is. So he has been coined the screwball and i hope to make a mark with him. Sorry for the long story but i am so emotionally invested in him. Here he is[IMG][/IMG]
