I am very jealous of these gorgeous snakes. I thought the monarch looked similar to the caramel albino, funny you posted a side by side. Have you bred monarch to monarch yet? Is there a super form?
 
There is no super form..............the Monarch is recessive. There may be some of you who do not know the Monarch Story, and are just seeing it for the first time. So, I have posted the Monarch Story below.

Here is the Monarch story......I purchased two very ugly pastel from my step-sisters boyfriends friend back in late 1999. The snakes barely ate over the course of 10 years, but finally came around in 2009. I bred the two pastel together and produced what I am now calling a Monarch Pastel, and a Monarch Pastel Genetic Stripe. There were only two good eggs in the clutch. The babies were very strange and certainly did not look like pastels, or even supers, which is what I expected. One baby looked like a genetic stripe, but very light in color, while the other baby was just amazing….neither had any black. Their colors where orange yellow, with a deep purple color. It seemed as though the ugly pastels were double hets......het for the new gene, Monarch, and also Genetic Stripe. In 2011, I got a 7 egg clutch…..the babies were 2 super pastels, 1 genetic stripe, 1 pastel genetic stripe, 1 super pastel genetic stripe, 1 Monarch, and 1 Monarch Stripe!! This clutch gave me the snake expressing the single Monarch gene. Plus, the other babies will be either 66% poss het for Monarch, or Genetic Stripe. I have since bred the Pastel Monarch to a normal, het albino, pastel, and Mojave. All babies were what I expected, Normals, Pastels, Super Pastels, Mojave, and Pastaves, all 100% het for Monarch. Also, the one clutch from the Monarch Pastel to the Albino het are 50% poss het for albino. I still need to prove if the Pastel Monarch is het for Genetic Stripe. Once again, neither of the snakes expressing the Monarch gene have any black pigment.
 
I can't wait until you breed the Super pastels, mojave, pastaves 100% monarch back to each other. How far off are they?
 
they are so pretty, I remember your original post about these. I favor the normal monarch and pastel monarch :D
 
There is a chance that I might produce a Monarch Mojave this fall. However, As of today, I only have one female that can throw visuals. The Monarch will be two years old in sept.
