Here is some pictures of my female reduced Eve.

I'm not sure that any of these will work since I've never posted a picture before.

in my opinion i would say no not a reduced, nor is Brian's female.

I've seen more reduced than mine but I still think she has a real nice reduced pattern, and frankly I've seen more reduced. I like her because she has a really clean look to her.

LOL......

here's a few pics of my unproven female.

i'll see if she's genetic in a few months, she's being paired up with a pastel at the moment.

Here's a pair of what I call my "super reduced/banded" breeding last year. These are genetic as all the babies have come out looking like the adults over the last two breeding seasons.

Glad to see ya'll seem to agree that the pattern is the dark area.

I was e-mailing a guy about a possible mate for this girl as he had a mojave with broad dark areas and reported it's mom looked similar but called her a reduced pattern. I was never able to get a picture but believe he considered the light areas the pattern so for some "reduced pattern" may be exactly the opposite.

Here's a 7 year old female

The hatchling on the right could maybe qualify...

I have this captive hatched ball which others have called reduced or banded...

okay.. so this is why I have posted. If you have more brown/yellow area and less black you have a reduced or is it more black and less brown/yellow?

the over all identity of a reduced pattern is little pattern overall.

but there is also more to it than just that............

every reduced pattern i have seen has little to no pattern on towards their tails, have white bellies, and yellow that fades from the sides into the white on the belly, also usually no brown or black from the sides touches the white of the belly.

when a reduced is placed along side a normal wild type you can see clearly the differences between the patterns.

i'm pretty stoked if my female lays and reduced pattern lemon pastels this can open up the door for me later down the line.

can you imagine a reduced pattern pewter or reduced pattern firefly or reduced pattern killerbee?????? just imagine how they look now and reduced pattern
