Some of my latest and greatest Pastels...

[bcijoe]

Was lucky enough to work out a great deal with Brandon Weik of Summit Reptiles for these beauties.

These come from Brandons Pastel Salmon litter.

People tell me these are hypos, you can't imagine what the pastel salmons look like!!!! UNREAL!!!!!

I mean, i've seen nice normals, and pastels, but these guys drink from a different well, if you know what I mean...


Can't wait to integrate these into some of the hottest projects out there!


What do you all think about them?

Here's female #2

[bcijoe]

Here's an OK shot of Female #18

[bcijoe]

This is male #17

A bit of color on him, huh? ::) :-X

The only other male I took was his opposite... totally light, washed out, soft, greyish looking..

[horny_dragon]

Just WOOOOWWWW.....they are nice!!

[bcijoe]

Here is female #12 who is already living in Miami with my good friend Bill Parks.

Our friend Mike Cottom held me down and twisted my arm as Bill ran in and grabbed her, then they both disappeared... lol

J/K :P

They are both great friends and I know she'll be right at home in Bills outstanding collection.

Considering the animals Bill and Herman produced last year and/or the year before, I can't wait to see what's gonna come out of that place in the next few years!


Take care guys, Joe Rollo

I don't think they are Hypos either Joe but they are absolutely wicked wicked, did I say wicked? Wicked Pastels! The only thing I don't like about them is they aren't here at my place! Congrats on a great snag! UnBOAlievable!

[Unas-TheSlayer]

Those are amazing Joe. I saw a bunch of them on kingsnake if I remember correctly. They are some of the most impressive pastels I've ever seen. A textbook example of the phenotype. I cant wait to see what you pair them up with. Congrats!

[Panama_Red]

WOW!! Joe thats all I have to say.. :'(

[Jarylo]

Awesome Joe! They almost have a stiped, washed-out background to them; like two lanes of smoke split by a lane of pink-pink-pink! Those are some choice animals you picked up... Congrats! :'(

[goofykid87]

dang, they didnt have nearly that much color back in what was it...april? I saw these little buggers at the NC show when they were still grey with pink highlites, they've turned out really nice

[bcijoe]

Thanks so much to all of you for all your kind words.
These are truly something!!! I love peaking in their cages everyday!

For all of you who went to Daytona, I am soo sorry these girls did not cooperate! 5 out of 6 were in shed, and the other was just so cold i'm surprised they looked half decent!

As luck would have it, when I had them shipped back to me, most had shed in their deli cups.

I even had snakes shedding in their deli cups the last few hours on Sunday!!! Talk about bad timing!!!

Want to hear more bad timing?

My female bred by my friends male was supposed to drop before Daytona.. did she? Nope!
When did she drop? When we got home, after Daytona, of course... lol.. they were all there just peeping up at us.

Weird thing is, there was a hypo in the litter with strange, extremely thin, unusually shaped saddles, just like the full term babies we pulled out of the other female this male DH Sunglow bred.

Check her out at the top right...
In the other litter (female passed and we removed dead full-term babies from her), there were 2 boas missing saddles and 1 with similar saddles, but they were thinner and straighter than you could get with a ruler.

Anway, enough rambling...

It was great to meet the few of you I had the pleasure of meeting in Daytona! Hopefully next year I can see you again and meet the rest of you!


Take care, Joe Rollo - Bci Joe
