Here are four snakes that left the egg this morning from a Flora & Fauna line Pastel Calico bred to a Pastel. I was anxious to produce some Super Pastel Calicos this year because I knew they would be powerful breeders toward future production of Pastel Calicos (which I love)... but honestly I did not think I would like the looks of the Super Pastel Calicos as much - WOW, was I ever wrong! There is something about the combination of these two genes that makes crazy stuff happen. I've produced three Super Pastel Calicos so far this season and all three have an even more aberrant pattern than the Pastel Calicos, which have a more aberrant pattern than the Calicos. In the photo are a Super Pastel Calico, a Super Pastel, a Pastel Calico, and Calico - all from the same clutch.

It will be exciting to watch the SPC's color up over the next several months. I´m expecting to see that base color become dandelion yellow by 4 or 5 months of age. I´ll keep you posted.

From what I've seen, the Flora & Fauna Calico line is alone in creating these crazy whacked out patterns, especially when combined with the Pastel. This project has gotten more interesting each year. Hope you enjoy.

Looks like those SPC's will be worth making , this one you have here is very extreme! Nice animal Dan!

WOW! Okay, that does it, I officially know what my next project to work towards will be! Thanks for sucking me back in! (I have been contemplating selling off most of my collection due to time constraint issues and I still might, but now I think I'll hold back a few select animals. Can't stay away forever or give it completely, can we?)
