Are Lemon Blasts supposed to look like this? (Waring Pic Heavy)

I don't know if incubation extremes would cause it or not, but that's what alot of people point to when there's color/pattern abnormalities.

I hope you do have something else going on. That would be awesome. Like you said, grow them and breed them. The only way to tell.

Here is a baby from 2010. A lot of people said incubation extremes caused it.

I don't believe it survived. I remember reading that thread when it came out. And I am pretty sure it didn make it

Id agree the breeder male pin has a busy pattern, like a granite pin. Pastel just looks like a pastel to me, but the one pastel that came out in the egg looks pretty dang crazy. Do u know the linage of the parents at all? Id also agree on the temps thing too, ill try to find a pic of a baby that never made it that was a wierd incubation issue

The pin I found in a reptile store around Bueana Park, he was just sitting in a tank and I guess no one wanted him because he only had one eye. Apparently he was someone's pet at one point but they sold him to the pet store. I though he was really cool looking, really light and a cool pattern, plus his missing eye just kinda fit him. I asked to see him and saw that he had a RI but I have fixed those before so that wasn't a big deal and with a price of 100.00 he was well worth the extra attention. The pastel is a long time resident of a local reptile store, as they tell the story she just say there and no one ever wanted her so they just decided to keep her. So for at least a year or two she has lived in an enclosure with an albino male and a normal female. The funny thing is they all avoided each other. So I convinced the owners to let me breed my pin to her and these little guys were the result.

He made it about a year before he died. Out of 7 eggs, he was the only one to go full term. The rest started dying off at about 1 egg a week. He definitly wasn't right. He had to be assist fed and had some bizarre behavior. He acted like he had some extreme Spider wobble.

I was tring to see if the reduced pattern was genetic or not. I only got one clutch this year and I think they came out more reduced than most.

This is interesting. Was the missing eye a birth defect or an injury? If it was a defect, could it have been the result of an incubation issue? It would be interesting if it had been an incubation issue to understand if the defect went deeper then physical attributes of the individual and became something heritable in the pattern. Just thinking out loud.

When I bought him I asked about it and they didn't know. Their answer was " I don't know, he came in here that way". I can't tell if it's a scar or a birth defect, I'm leaning toward scar because it's not seamless, there is a hole that you can kinda see something inside and it pulls his lip up a little.
