She's beautiful, Shannon! Do you have pics of her as a hatchling? I'm curious to see how much color she had in her saddles, if any...

Nope, I wish I did have a pic of her as a hatchling.She had red (actually like a burnt maroon) in every saddle but not very much and it got less with every shed.Here she was at about 18 months of age and she was pretty much done except a little red in the nuckel but its hard to see in this pic.

now, here is a 18 month old female that had more orange/red but is also closing up on the blotches.They start out pretty normal just dark and the color is in the center of the saddles and with every shed it gets a bit smaller.I am sure as a adult this girl will have little to no orange but she isn't the best but was the only one that hatched two years ago when I lost my original female to egg binding.

I wish you the best for her clutch, can´t wait to see the hatchlings.
