Re: Citrus Whiteout Pastels!
Well, I'll try this again, my entire post was lost when I was logged out.
Note: All animals mentioned below are on my photo page.
http://imageevent.com/mikebellreptil...itrusstuffinfo
I didn't read the other post before it was pulled, but I have been told a little bit about it. Of all the people mentioned, Clark, Joe, Jonathan and Amir, Amir is the only one I know personally. We have done tens of thousands of dollars worth of business over the last 5-6 years. He has always done what he has said, I have never heard of anyone else having a negative experience.
In 2010 I produced three super citrus pastel calicos that were almost white as hatchlings. They turned yellow with age. There was also a super citrus pastel with an odd busy look. This was from a citrus pastel calico bred to a citrus pastel female. There was citrus on both sides resulting in an extreme whiteout look.
I have several g-stripe clutches from a citrus pastel stripe male bred to unrelated non citrus het stripes. About 50% of the pastel stripes he has thrown show a whiteout look, white head and much nicer pastel stripe overall. These have citrus only on one side, they don't have anywhere near as extreme look as the calicos mentioned above, I'm looking forward to breeding citrus stripe to citrus stripe to see if there is a more extreme whiteout look to be had with them or if the extreme condition was from the calico.
I hatched a citrus pastel puma from a puma bred to a citrus pastel yellow belly. I haven't seen a lot of these, but mine has a white head.
In conclusion, my two citrus males, the citrus calico and the citrus stripe are not whiteouts, but throw whiteouts. Can every citrus do this? I don't know. I welcome any questions. I'll be in Tampa this weekend exhibiting at the Tampa Repticon show, many of these animals will be there to compare.
Thanks, Mike Bell

I purchased the snake with the assumption that it is a superior line of Pastel that may or may not throw crazy "Citrus Whiteout" combos, NOT Powerhouse combos (to the best of my knowledge, "Powerhouse Washouts" were not yet available when I purchased my snake--this was about 5 months ago). I knew that there was still a lot to be learned about the project when I purchased the snake and that was a risk I was willing to take.

First, thank you for the detailed response and for posting pictures of some truly incredible snakes! Would you mind posting pictures of the Citrus Pastel Calico (M) and the Citrus Pastel (F) that produced that amazing clutch? Thanks in advance.
