Hey guys, just wanted to see people share some of their favorite “transformations” from hatchling to adults are!
My personal favorite is my Stinger Bee, Uldren. He was a snappy little guy when I got him, and he has stayed pretty vibrant in color. These pictures are roughly 1 year apart!
Here he is at 795g a year later. I did have some troubles getting him to eat the first few months I had him due to his wobble of excitement in feeding time, but once I figured out how to help him get the head first strike all has been golden since then! He’s my garbage disposal!
Clown gene designer combo, over a few months. This is why I refer to the gene as a “cleaner morph”. The bottom pic is our 2018 Cinny Pinstripe Clown after his 2nd shed & the top photo is him at just over 6 months. See how much lighter he is?
The great news is Clown gene, even het Clowns will be crisp and bright. Clown protects against brownout that you can see in many other morphs, BUT this tendency can also take, IMHO a bit more contrast out in the colour profile that you might be aiming for. Keep this in mind when selecting your pairs and projects. Use deeper colour and higher contrast animals/lines whenever possible.
Wow, that is an amazing transformation! He’s a stunning animal, I’m watching mine grow and the difference is interesting. I always thought it would be cool to see how hatchlings look as adults since all you every see really is hatchlings on sites.
