This was Clyde's dad when I got him, Ukiah was a good bit older than Clyde is now though, when I first got him.



This is a near adult picture of Ukiah in direct sun. (I need to get some new pictures of him!)



And one indoors with flash. I'd expect most the normal babies to end up a similar shade, though they vary a bit, so might be a little darker or lighter than Ukiah.
