Introducing.....NEW PIED COMBO

Brandon Osborne Aug 19, 2010 05:37 PM

Not exactly sure but it is at least a Pewter Pied and possibly a Sterling Pied. The head is a bit lighter than the Pewter but it could just be washed out due to the lack of color overall. This was a 3 egg clutch from Pewter het Pied X Pastel het Pied. I have two more opportunities to produce another this year...another clutch of 5 eggs from Pewter het Pied X Pastel het Pied and Pewter het Pied X Pied. Although I'm a little dissappointed in the lack of pewter pattern, I'm stoked about the potential of things to come. Good luck to everyone in their projects.

Allow me to inform everyone of a local joke we call "Brandon Luck". Some how, some way, this guy seems to hit odds like no one else I know! When I seen what was hatching out of this three egg clutch, I had to laugh, shake my head, and say "Brandon Luck... that $hit is real." Believe me, that snake is even sexier in person! How about you shake some of your fairy dust on my animals? Congrats Brandon, it couldn't have happened to a better guy.

Another pied combo without a pattern.

I prefer a lucy to this.
To me it's look like a snake with a pancake on it's head.

the potential is good to create better stuff but still.

Although I was hoping for more pattern, I would take this over a lucy. Every adult lucy I've seen has some slight dirty pattern. I'm confident this little one will be porcelain white as an adult. It is so much nicer looking in person.

I happen to know someone who produced 2 of them last year. I got to see them in the egg. However, due to an accident, they both died before hatching. However, what I wanted to comment on was that his two looked identical to that one. So, they may always end up that high white.

Either way, that is a gorgeous animal and a powerful animal in any collection.

Brandon that is an awesome looking snake o matter what it is. It would be cool to see a pied with some pewter pattern, but that snake you made would never leave my house if it were mine. Good luck on the rest of your clutches. Chris Hall

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I'm pretty happy to see this project come to fruition.

Special thanks to Clint Bartley for watching my back when I'm away from home. Couldn't imagine anyone else taking on the task.

Sorry about that. I get you and chongorojo mixed up all the time. Unless your name is Brian, too. That would be weird... Still a funny comment though!!!

The last few pics I just kept thinking "Hairclub for Men" because the spot looks like a bad toupe I like it and think it is very interesting looking......
