Thanks! That particular animal is an interesting pastel cross we hatched in 2006. We named the original dark female that produced this animal an Espresso Ball and the cross simply "Espresso x Pastel". We are line breeding the original Espresso female to 3 of her 2006 sons in the hopes of producing a Super Espresso this year. This should help clear up if there is something genetic going on or if this is just a spontaneous mutation that won't be reproducible.Originally Posted by patb201985
