Aren't they suposed to be yellow??

Couple of normal yellow Pastels (with REAL DARK black on them....way cool), nothing unusual, right?

Then this ORANGE weirdo hatches out. I've seen TONS like him, but I've never got to hatch an orange one. Kinda neat. I like the yellow and purple ones better. Maybe I'll wait until he sheds to reserve judgement.

Jeff, I think I've read this before somewheres, but can't recall where I heard of this.. are not the orange ones the ones that brown-out more as adults? Seems that I read and/or heard that orange is dreaded on pastels..??

Fill me in, as I'm sure you know what the scoop is about that...

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Bristen.

Well...if you don't want it Jeff.
Cheers,

Ha ha thanks guys!

That's what I was thinking Bristen. I guess I'll have the opportunity to find out, because I re-sexed it and it a girl. So here is stays. It came from the same clutch as a yellow did, so I think it may just shed out and they will be indistinguishable. We'll see in 7-10 days!

LOL. So much for that idea... I was gonna say, if you don't want him, I'll take him

But, I think she looks really cool! Can't wait to see what she looks like after a shed or two...

Yet another beauty Jeff, congrats
