Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....
Not sure????

What's different is (imo) the amount of reduced pattern. Almost flawless. Gorgeous animal!

Lesser Pastel
Did you get the Pastel Lesser from Mike Bell? You know that he has a lot of Amir's Citrus White Out stock, maybe the influence of the White Out gene? That seems to tweek patterns?? Did you have any plain Pastels in the clutch? What did they look like? any Pics?,

Good looking lesser pastel, it looks like the pattern fades a little in a couple spots. Looks like some other gene could be influencing like the white out that was mentioned above.

I don't see white out in that snake, as far as I know it's either a white out or it isn't?
Maybe incubator issues caused the odd pattern?

Nicee!
That is a great looking Pastel Lesser you got there Zach. I really like the reduced pattern. some of the other clutch mates seem to have a bit of that reduced pattern as well. A keeper for sure. Its all about selective breeding at this stage in the game. I would like to see the influence it has with another gene or two mixed in. It's not a white-out though, The white-out has been produced this year on its own and the pastel white-outs look like very nice super pastels as babies. It may be a citrus line of pastel but only a few citrus pastels have ever carried the true white-out gene and your friend Mike Bell has atleast one of them! The true white-out is a completely seperate gene that has been proven by Clark Tucker of Power House Reptiles to be carried by other mutations on its own (not just pastels). I think you may have some type of genetic reduced pattern mixed in there. Great Job, Thats a really nice looking animal!

Last night I got a call from a big breeder that I sent pics to. He suspects it is a whiteout. He wants to see more pics close ups on the neck. The animal is in shed at the moment once he sheds I can get the pics. Stay tuned for more.
