    ID? fmMojave x mLeopardPastel; mCinnacal; and mPewter

    I have never hatched anything calico and was just having a little trouble being able to spot what if anything caught the calico.

    With the warm winter we had here it seemed like it took forever for fms to show interest in breeding or start building so I used some older males to get fms going and then swapped in the better males as they began building follicles. I've had plenty eggs sired by the first males but as long and drawn out as my season was I don't think the younger, genetically stronger males would have lasted the entire season if they had to do all the work themselves.

    I have never hatched anything calico and just started working with a pastel leopard male this season so this clutch had me scratching my head a bit. I have an idea what I hit here but will keep it to myself to get some unbiased opinions.

    The female was a mojave and her breeding season went from first to last:

    1 lock with a lemonblast
    1 lock with a pewter
    4 locks with a cinnamon calico
    2 locks with a leopard pastel to finish her out for the season before ovulating.

    Here's a few pics of the clutch as whole and individuals, thanks for the input.

    4) Pastave
    5) Cinnamon
    6) Cinnamon. Maybe a really low white cinny calico? This one is super clean... I'm not quite sure

    Agree 100%. That last one looks like a nice reduced pattern, or maybe a baby from a boob egg. Likely not fully developed.
