Black Pastel Pied and 'Gold Dust' Pied

[piedlover79]

So here is my pairing for next season! I can't wait to see what comes of this! The female is a Black Pastel Pied that I got from Collin four years ago, she's my gem. The male is a 'gold dust' pied from Dan Wolfe. He's been proven to throw speckled pied offspring so whatever he has going on is genetic but I don't think anyone has isolated his gene or given it a proper name. Since 'gold dust' is the name for a super mahogany I'm thinking of changing it to 'digital' if I can prove it out to be a gene. I don't really know how one goes about claiming a new morph. He's 66% het for albino so if I can get my hands on a female albino het pied I might try seeing what happens there.

Here is a thread that shows what a 'het for gold dust' looks like. I'm trying to get in touch with this user to see if she ever bred this gal and what came of it.

Thanks! I've always loved pied! Of course one day I want Panda Pied, but if I could get speckled Panda Pied that would just be my dream snake.

Pieds are always cool. I figured a Halloween type name worked for the perfect Jack-o-Lantern face. This is Elvira.

Wow that male is awesome, I really hope he proves out for you! And Panda Pieds are just too for school.
Good luck and keep us posted.

You can start your pied collection with a pair of quality het pieds first and defray some of the cost. You don't have to wait to get rich! Lol
