Odd looking hatchling

T&MReptiles Jun 17, 2004 11:15 AM

This hatched out with a clutch of Ruppel pastels. Does anyone have an idea of what it might be, or, is it just a neat looking normal ?

That is an awesome looking ball. I don't much care for the morph craze, but that is something. I am sure you will be getting some interesting offers! I personally, would hold on to it.

Where both parents Ruppel pastels or even related?

I hatched a classic jungle (who knows why) a few years back that was a little like that but yours has a richer and cleaner background and better contrast. Someone posted what might be the combination of a pastel jungle (genetic) and classic jungle (probably not genetic) a while back and I wonder if this could be the same thing or something new all together. I'll have to try to find that picture to compare.

Anything odd happen in incubation? I’m wondering if my classic jungle was due to incubation problems but I’m breeding him anyway just in case. He had darkened up by 1 year when this pic was taken and I should get off my butt and take a 2 year pic soon.

That thing looks great!! You shouldn't be selling it whatever it is, just in case it ends up being genetic... could we get more pictures of it?? Please post of it sheds!

Thanks,
Bristen.
