Hey guys got this male from a rescue and they said it was from an old breeder that retired from breeding. The rescue said it was lavender. I just am just starting breeding reptiles. Just got this for an agriculture teacher for educational purposes that know. We just thought it was a different morph?
It looks like a harlequin pinstripe, possibly a tricolour that has faded with age, but it isn’t the best photo to tell. Photos in better lighting from the side and top would help, if possible
Thank you that is what I thought was. Like I said it was for a teacher that is one of my friends and that is the photo I have when I dropped off in her classroom. Do you think lavender or extreme harlequin or are you familiar with that morph? Because the rescue said that the breeder said it was lavender. Do you know anyone that knows or breeds lavenders or extreme harlequin?
I would not consider him an extreme harlequin, he could possibly be a lower expression lavender, but im not very good at IDing the lower expression ones. Both are pretty popular morphs though, most serious breeders will have one or the other, or both in their stock.
Anymore pics?
Looks like a Harley partial pin (I can see a couple breaks) with dal spots.
May be lav, any unfired? X
No more pics like I said to other person just read my reply to her. Does the dal spots mean you think it had Dalmatian? Do you think extreme harlequin or tri-color is in it? What do you mean by partial pin does that mean it is pinstripe? Do you think lavender could at all be in there? Do you think dark base is in there? What mean by unfired and then X? I new to morphs for cresties
Yes dalmation there, but not covered in spots so just ‘dal spots’.
Without more pics unfired etc, can’t see if lavender. Tricolour I’m not seeing from those but if older and faded, again unfired pics may help.
I don’t think extreme either myself no.
Pinstripe will be full pinning down dorsal, whereas I see breaks from that pic x
Sorry when do I know he is not fired up. He is young one and he is not even 1 yet, and I don’t think he is fired up it might be lighting it is at my friend’s school she teaches at. I will ask to get more pics of him. Can you send a photo vs photo comparison of fired up crestie and non fired up one so I know the difference? So no pinstripe or tri-color? How do get it in better lighting for pics?
If I get better photos of you think you could lavender or tri-color? And do you think it could be dark base?
Are you sure about his age? He looks VERY big for under a year old… He IS a pinstripe, just likely not a full one. But again, more, better, pics are needed to tell anything else. Fired up is when they have a darker, stronger colour to them, fired down their colours are lighter, more faded. Im sure you can find some comparisons if you search on google or on this forum
I am not sure on his age, I am taking to vet this week for an initial checkup and then I was asking them to see if they could maybe tell me an age. The rescue I got him from told me in a few weeks or like a month and half he would be turning but I thought he looked bigger than not being 1.
I am not too sure if he was fired up, it might have been lightning and this was when we put him in his new cage so it was new environment. What about him would brighter or darker if he was? And what about him would be lighter if he wasn’t?
His base colour mainly, but typically also any secondary colouring like if he had any orange patterning. He looks relatively fired in the photo, though he might be able to get a bit darker, it’s hard to say. Vet won’t be able to tell you his age unfortunately, as they all grow at different rates. It’s not impossible for him to be under one year old, but it’s not super common for them to be that big. Most 1 year olds are between 10-30g, and will still have a lanky, juvenile look to them. The photo makes him look pm fully grown imo, but it could also just be the angle of the photos that’s making him look stockier than he actually is though
I will get more pictures from different angles and he will be in hand, I will all of his sides that will sometime this week I will post them as a reply if you want keep a look out. Do you think lavender, tri-color, or dark base is in him at all? Please give your opinion or if just give your opinion also when I have in him my hand I just wanted to let him get used me and fellow agriculture teacher and to enviroment of his cage and kids walking and talking by his cage and in the classroom. We have handled a little bit each day to show our students. I will give you more photos when I can.
I thought he was full grown too, now know someone else have the opinion and fellow teacher had and some of our students. Yes he is couple years I think because got in contact with the breeder that retired he told me was couple years old but he doesn’t remember what morphs he is though.
Did you see my replys
Did you see my new replys that are 14 and 15
Yeah, but like i said, it’s not possible to say anything else without better pictures. He is definitely dark-based that is a given.
Yes I said I will get better photos of him my hand from different angles. And then I will post them as a reply I will do that this week sometime probably Tuesday or Thursday when I am in that classroom teaching. Then can you see about lavender and tri-color? Just said in my reply I just wanted him to get used to where he will be with surroundings and his environment and new cage
I just put reply on this thread to what you said. If you can read it that would be great. Just keep eye for the new pictures u talked about it in the reply on this thread it should 19
