This
stunning "designer" mutation results from
two mutations being expressed at once. These snakes
are pastels that are also hypomelanistic.
I
produced these beauties from a pastel het hypo to a
hypo pairing. The hypomelanistic female laid twelve
nice eggs. One egg went bad after a couple of weeks.
After 55 long days of incubation, the first snake pipped
– a little hypo pastel was poking out from the
egg! It was an awesome sight. The fun didn’t end
there. Over the next 18 hours or so, four different
colors of balls emerged from their eggs. Four different
morphs of balls in one clutch – it was so cool
to see. The total head count was 4 hypomelanistic pastels,
3 pastels het for hypo, 2 hypos, and 2 het hypos.
This
morph holds unbelievable potential! Breed these hypos
to produce more hypo pastels and hypos. What will a
hypo pastel look like when the axanthic gene is used
to "erase" all the yellow? Hypo bumble bees
when bred into the spider mutation! A hypo pastel piebald
will be to die for!
These
hypo pastels are going to be the benchmark that everyone
else will shoot for. Don’t start your project
with anything less.
