CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of Buck and Morpheus. They are wonderful looking as are Butterbur and Shiro. But I have to say I love the markings on Shiros carapace. She is absolutely STUNNING. :D

Sure hope these pics are not mis-understood.. I've hesitated to show them. But since I don't have a life.. all I do is sit around taking pictures. So maybe these will shed a different "light" [ I know terrible 'pun' ] on the new guys that Kelly got the other day.

These are not the most recent.. I really should have taken pics in the sun outside the day I shipped!

And since I knew Kelly likes the 'yellow' and wanted a male.. here's one of the '05 keepers she got.

Butterbur..

Would Morpheus be considered "leucistic?"

Terry and Yvonne.. { I feel like I'm writing to ourselves.. my wife is Yvonne! }

My source believes that the lack of color pigmentation [ look Yvonne 4 silybuls! ] is directly related to early 'pip' timing/low humidity.. which does not allow the natural colors to develop. In other words if they 'pip' early and the humidity isn't just right they dehydrate which affects the color development. I've seen it occur from every female.. only effecting 1 out of a clutch. It has no negative influence on health or growth.. of those ( owners that have one of them ) that I have been able to keep in touch with.

Kelly has a very rare redfoot there! Almost like a Mediterranean [ I had to look that one up ] with the head colors/patterns of a redfoot!

Love all your pics, Terry! I meant to get them out today for some new photos in the sun, but got sidetracked with other things! Hopefully tomorrow!

Kelly: I hope you keep us posted as Morph grows. It will be interesting to see if eventually the color gets to be more "normal."

Nerd....stop teasing me. My tongue is hanging out, and I'm broke.

"Cousin's" not available Terry.. [ already promised ] however when you start saving your 'change' everyday [ NOW! ] - by this fall when they start hatching again there may just be one to show up! And I'll let you know first.. fair enough?
