And I did not get what I expected. When people get mixed clutches, or put two or more males in with one female, I think to myself, "That is not too smart." At least not in my opinion, but now, I have gotten one of those clutches. I bred my Ghost male to my original Hypo looking female that produced the Mojave cross babies last year in a breeding loan with Eric Sandoval. I was surprised to see the first head poke out, looking like a Pastel. I was expecting Morphs and normals, 100% Het Hypo. Well, all 8 eggs hatched, all pipped and came out on their own, no egg cutting at all. I got 3 pastels, one looks like a Pastel Morph, two Morphs, and three Normals. So, how did I get Pastels in a Ghost x non Pastel female? The ONLY thing I can think of is this: A week or so before I put my Pastel male breeder up for sale, I cycled him through his females one last time, one of those females was the Ember Ball, whose tub is right under the Mojave cross female's tub. I MAY have inadvertantly put the Pastel in with the Mojave cross female instead of the Ember. I cannot imagine that I did that, but that is the only thing I can think of. I think the one Morph looks kind of like a Sable.



Pic one is a Pastel and morph, the one I think looks like a Sable....Pic two is the morph, up top, normal on the right, and the pastels on the left, with the Super Pastel looking one being the one I think is a Pastel Morph.
