thanks katrina i have a bad feeling most of those ones are boys :? but i have a few light females that i plan on placing some of the better adult yellow males to if that is in fact that case. im not to sure but if it is i will be high suspicious that the reduced pattern and yellow gene may be sex linked. but breeding season will tell, the older ones are currently being cooled outside and when they begin to wake they will be placed into individual enclosures for breeding so i have a bit of control over the outcome. it will be interesting and i am looking forward to it. :D

will be good

Thats really interesting - keep me updated on whether or not the 'blonde' ones are boys! The one in the upper left looks really yellow - they have some amazing colors, hopefully you can get them breeding. Is the yellow / reduced pattern somewhat common around there, or have you been carefully searching for these guys?

i wouldn't say they are overly uncoomon (due to me finding this many) but they are definitely not common, i have found these through searching and impulse buying any that have the characteristics i am looking for. most of the time there is one or 2 from a batch of babies like these when the others are pretty normal. there is one other one that i really want to get just need the money, lol doing an extra shift this evening so that might pay for it, just got to many bills come in at the moment. but yeah i cant wait till breeding season, i dont know how many i will sell but i have a few friends that will probably get a bub or two.
