This week has been fairly exciting. We tried last year for Pastel Sppotnoses, but the one clutch we got, failed to hit the cross. This year we got another small clutch, but we got lucky and hatched out a male Pastel Spotnose. He just shed this week, and I am thrilled. I’ll get another pic of him soon.

Also last year, we tried to produce a Sable Pinstripe. The Pin female decided not to lay last year. This year, we bred the same 2 animals together, and out of a five egg clutch, we were fortunate enough to produce a female Sable Pinstripe. It appears to look very similar to a Chocolate Pinstripe, but has some very subtle differences. I have long felt that Sables and Chocolates were as similar to one another as Mojaves and Lessers or Cinnys and Black Pastels. I was hoping for a Male Sable Pin, so that I could attempt to make a Camo Ball a bit faster, but I guess that project will have to wait a bit longer. I guess this will allow me to make another Sable cross male to breed to the Sable Pin female. I haven’t figured it out yet, but maybe a Sable Spider, Sable Pastel or Sable Enchi. We’ll see what happens. For now, you just have to enjoy the pics.
