Interesting hatchling

[FireStorm]

I'm seriously delinquent in posting this...I haven't been on the forums much lately due to a serious lack of time. Our first clutch of 2014 was supposed to be a Specter female bred to both a Barnhart line Black Pastel YB and a Pastel Superstripe (I was trying to avoid a dual sired clutch but the Pastel SS wasn't in the mood and I didn't want to end up with nothing). Well, it seems that the Specter must actually be a YB, because there is an Ivory. But there is also this interesting dark baby. She's darker than any Black Pastel YB I've seen, so I'm pretty curious to see how she grows up. She has shed twice so far, and is still dark.

One more shot. Unfortunately I can only attach one photo to each post from my ipad, and my laptop is possessed by some sort of gremlin right now.

Wow! Would love to see a picture of the mom.

Here is mom. Sorry the pics aren't great. She would not hold still.

I finally got around to downloading the pics of the rest of the clutch. Here are the two YB boys:

And here are the other two. Baby #1 is a normal female. Baby #2, I'm not sure. She's really bright, and has an "almost YB" belly. I'm considering the possibility that this was actually a dual sired clutch, and she's a Specter sired by the Pastel SS. But, I've never hatched a Specter, so I don't have anything to compare her to.

Only one black pastel from the clutch? But what a black pastel! And whatever other ingredients are there, it's incredible. They all look good. Have you asked Barnhart about her?

I haven't but I think that's a good idea. I've shown pictures to Oz and to Dan Wolfe, but neither of them know what she is, other than to say that they haven't ever hatched any Black Pastel YBs like her.

If she does turn out to be something new I think it should be called the Riddler:

Aren't those pastel highways ? I could of sworn I saw a snake like her for sale. It was a few weeks back. I think thats the name it was giving. It was pitch black like her and had the yellow broken up stripe down the dorsel. Looks like a highway line. I believe it was listed 5 grand for male and 7 for female. I'm not 100% though about her. She just looks so much like that snake I saw. I might even have the name wrong. Sorry if I do. I just remember seeing one like her and I was like omg looks like a road lol.

I googled pastel highway it's not her that one was light. I googled ghi highway and it looks like her. First two images are dark like her with the broken up yellow stripe.




I posted the pics I found. These pics are not mine. I'm not claiming them as mine just showing them as examples. Hope this helps with your mystery girl.
