Thanks. It is always in the eye of the beholder. I know everyone likes bright colors that do not brown out, however, I believe that the overall pattern itself has to also be considered. I have a 2007 pastel male that has browned out some, but his pattern is what caught my eye and what was the deciding factor in my purchasing him several years back.
That was what made my decision with Mocha, my pastel girl. I knew she would end up a little dark, but I really liked her blushing and busy pattern, and also her temperament. She's such a sweetheart and at the very least is a perfect ambassador if I want to show my snakes, but I will breed her to my fire spider this year and see how things turn out.
Awesome bro and congrats..it's a huge relief when they finally eat.... Feed every 5 days and keep up husbandry and he will grow like a weed
She's been taking rat fuzzies every 4 days here and has not refused once! I usually feed every 3-4 days until they reach 300 grams. At that time they go on the weekly schedule with the rest of the collection.
