What's the black satin black pastel you mentioned...is that the satin gene proved out by Mike and Mike, or something else?

It varies from mom to mom. This is this girl's first year and she's been really laid back throughout incubation. I have a normal girl that gets hissy when she's gravid and/or on eggs but most of them have become accustomed to me checking in periodically to spot clean, refresh water, feed, check eggs, etc.


Black Satin is VPI's line of black pastel and I really, really love the way they look. Mine came from Raul Campos of West Coast Jungle. I think the color and contrast in the satin line is beautiful. I'll see about getting a pic of my guy on here tomorrow.
