We were on vacation all last week, and got home this past Saturday. Plenty happened while we were gone, and he we are to document it. The first thing to happen while we were gone was our first ever Pieds hatched. We started our Pied project in 2004, and finally hatched 2 males. They are in shed right now, so once they get some clean skin, we’ll get some pics. Our second ever Hypo Cinnamon hatched while we were away as well. I was hoping for a female, but we got a male instead. That’s ok, he is beautiful just the same. Same as the Pieds, I’ll get pics once he sheds.

The next excitement that occured while we were gone was some eggs being laid. Our first shot at Axanthic Pinstripes was laid. We got 9 eggs from our Pin Het Axanthic to an Axanthic girl. Man I hope I get some luck here. We also got a clutch of eggs from a Pastel Poss. Het. Genetic Stripe bred to one of his Pastel daughters. We got 8 eggs from this female. I sure hope we can prove her out and get some Pastel G-Stripes or even a Super Pastel G-Stripe, but I have never hatched a Super Pastel, so those would be just fine as well.

Lastly for the week, while we were away, our Pastel Mystic and Mystic shed. I thought that since this project is fairly new, I would get some good comparison shots so that everyone could see what this gene looks like compared to other animals. The first picture shows a Pastel Yellow Belly on the left, a Pastel Mystic on the right, and a Pastel in the rear.

This picture shows a Normal on the left, a Mystic on the right and a Mojave in the rear.

Thanks for reading, and check back next week, for some other fun stuff.
