Pink Pastel Western Hognose

e s tropicals Jul 15, 2010 07:31 PM

This is a picture of one of my recent hatched pink pastels, with one of my albinos, and my mystery pink hognose. My first guess was hypo pink pastel. My reason for that is my line on pinks developed from a lasik poss double het pink/hypo. I bred that to my own normal females and line bred a pink male back to poss het females i produced and raised. Ive never tried a hypo to any of my females, next year i probably will. The only problem with this little pink is that there are 5 normal sibs, and none of them are hypos. I am waiting for 3 more pink siblings to climb out of their eggs so i can compare all four to each other. At bare minimum i have a clutch of really reddish orange pinks. Look at the belly picture though. All my other pinks have patterned bellys. This one has a clear belly. Any thoughts?

That is very cool! That is very different than either the regular PPA's or T /Hypos, so who knows considering these are of Lazik descent. There seems to be a lot of those Poss. Double Hets out there, so I guess it's very possible that that is indeed what you might have produced. I guess the best way to prove it out is to breed that offspring back to the parents and see if you do produce any T /Hypos from it. Either way, it's still a very wonderfully colored animal. Congrats!

Well the rest of the clutch hatched, and the other 3 pinks are what i would consider normal pinks.
