When I hatched this guy (8/20/04)I new something was up. He had a different cast about him, also I couldn't ignore the orange splotches low on the sides. Too subtile though, not what I, or anyone else for that matter wanted to see from Albino Pastel.

With each shed the orange is increasing, also today I noticed that new areas are breaking out orange. What's happening is that where with a regular Pastels as they mature they brown out, with an Albino pastel as that happens you get more orange!

Since this change has really just starting, and the pair is still so small, I think by the time they reach maturity they will be very impressive.

thnx

PS.......I also produed a female that is just a little behind in this increasing orange thing. I'll post pics of them both together next month when they should be much more impressive.







Notice the orange spotching





Kind of a bad pic taken today but it shows the new orange on the neck that wasn't there two days ago,
