So first off I would like to thank my great friend Adey for influencing me for getting into this project. After seeing his Sugar Pastel I knew this was yet another morph I had to get into. I purchased a nice sugar male from Adey that did not go this year and as insurance I picked up breeder calico male from Dan Wolfe that was of the famed Flora and Fauna line. I have to admit that when I got him here I thought Dan had sent me the wrong snake. For those that know me, you know I always try to acquire the best example of every morph out there as my breeding stock. To be honest after close examination of my new breeder Calico male I did manage to find a few white scales. I actually called Dan with admitted concern. Dan assured me that the proof would be in the pudding and man was he right!

My first two clutched sired by the male calico pipped this week. Both females were bumble bees and the pay off was huge. 1.1 Calico Bumble Bees, 0.1 Calico Spider and 1.1 Calico Pastels and 1.1 calicos.

Thanks for looking!

Markus
