fwiw the eye color thing is more or less local based. Kalatoa in general have brown eyes that fade into a light silver. Anery retics will almost all have silver eyes due to the lack in pigmentation. A surprisingly lot of SD's that I have seen ended up proving at least het anery / anery, which could explain eye variation so much in the SD locales.
Orange eyes though - the orangest I have ever had in my collection came from Seslayer (Genetic Striped) local.
Congrats on the new hungry mouth! Keep it happy.
