I believe the name Dreamsicle is already in use. I think Ralph Davis named his Lavender Albino Pieds that.

Great looking cross you have there.

I'm probably wrong, but I'm going to guess it was produced from a Calico X Cinnamon pairing.

The Cinnamon gene tends to knock out most of the yellow pigments (ie: pewter, 'Cinnabee'), and most of the Cinnamon crosses produced to date have a stronger, more pronounced pattern towards the head, with the pattern towards the tail being somewhat faded or washed out.

Congrats again.

Thanks all for all the comments.
Some of you guessed it right. He is a Calico Pastel .
I guess I'll have to think of another name for him.( Sorry Ralph, I did not know you used that one up already).
It was a 4 egg clutch from a Joe Ferreira female Pastel to my Doug Beard, Flora and Fauna line Calico male. Got one male Cross and one female Calico and a pair of pastels... Not bad luck at all...
As for other calico Crosses to come.... keep watching the forum.......I believe someone else has a trick or treat coming in the near future... bet its a treat rather than a trick...
