This is Set, she is a 5 year old female that I hatched out about 5 years ago from high yellow / normal parents. She is pictured with a high yellow from 2002.

. . . at least by today's definitions.

The kicker, for me, is the purplish tail. Whenever you see that - it's usually on a darker animal. It also has huge areas of melanin.

It's very pretty.

It wouldn't happen to be male . . . .????

Cool beans!!!

I've never held onto any of her offspring, but most didn't seem to be staying dark. Last year she laid 18 eggs, this year she's already laid 10 with this male.
