PARADOX PASTEL???? OPINIONS WANTED

Oz Nov 05, 2004 08:26 PM

I hatched out this little girl last month in a Pastel clutch. It looks like she wanted to become a Pastel and didn't quite make it. Check out the bright patches. Strange to say the least... has anybody else hatched out something similar? It will be interesting to see if she throws normals, pastels, or more like herself.


Thanks,
Oz

Wow, very cool! It has characteristics of a pastel and a normal... The classic connecting head pattern, whiteish color on the head (thou not as extreme as a pure pastel) High colored areas. Looks like a paradox pastel to me man. Very very cool.

How many sheds has it gone through so far? Has apperience changed at all after a shed?

What ever it is, it would be awesome to raise it up and breed to a normal to see if the co-dom trait of a pastel would be passed on. Good project if your up for it Oz.
