Here's some pics of our male pastel that was purchased from NERD (graziani line) and an imported captive hatch normal female that we bought duto her light coloring and a couple other interesting traits that are illustrated below. she just shed last night, so she's showing alot of that blue iridescence my wife loves so much.

thanks for checking them out!!

these "melted spots" that are a different color than the rest of her black areas are the main reason i bought her.

weird belly

her head is really, REALLY bronze but it's a little hard to tell in this pic

eye stripe

some tongue action

Just wondering what makes that belly weird? Trying to understand what to look for when looking at balls. Thanks Andy

as far as what we were looking for in this female, the ventral scales were clear in the middle. that's really about it. doesn't mean much, but in her case alot of the other traits made her interesting enough to us to buy her. like i said in the previous post, what caught my attention the most was the "melted/blurred" look of her side spots and the fact that she has a very noticable eye stripe. the belly was just a bonus.
