Tks, bro...! ur avatar is amazing !!! what kind of BP is that ?!
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.
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but here are pictures that gives a quick overview of the animal and the development as it aged (no recent pictures)...

Thanks for the comments! There are only two pictures that were made available to the public so far, perhaps more later, but for now only two. Here they are (pairing that produced the Espresso x Pastel cross):
