Something unique about this SK Amel :)

[MysticExotics]

I picked up this female from Steve Roylance last spring, and she's got a unique look to her.

If you look closely, she has patches on either side of her jaw, where she is missing color pigment. It has become more prominent as she grows.

You can see it a little from the top view (older pic), and on both sides of her jaw.

That's really neat. She has great color too.

 

[MysticExotics]

Thanks! I'm curious to see how she turns out.
She'll be fun to work with in future projects.

 

[Rigby & Marcy]

It's cute! Like a little mustache. She has a nice pattern & colour.

 

[MysticExotics]

Looks kinda looks like she dipped her face in bleach.

 

[vetusvates]

Yep. Jaw and nose.

 

[MysticExotics]

Yep. Jaw and nose.

I hope she keeps it. It's cool looking!

 

[Chromatic Corns]

very neat, I hope you named her "Cheeks"

Haha! That's one I hadn't thought of.

 

[MysticExotics]

I'm curious to know if Steve had any other babies that had this look.

Looking good! I have seen some similar SKs in the past. Not very often though.

Was this one PH Lavender?

 

[MysticExotics]

Yes, she is.
In looking through old emails, when I got the first group from you, you had listed SK Amel as ph Bloodred Lavender, but I have her as het Lavender on iHerp, but I cannot find that email, so I'm not sure if they were different SK Amels or not. I might have misread.

Either way, she's turning out really cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out.

Have you seen the patches of absent coloring like this one has?

Have you seen the patches of absent coloring like this one has?

I think so?? I'll have to check some animals and see what I can find.

That would be great, thanks!

Dod you have more than one clutch that resulted in the SK Amels? (Silly question, but I have to ask) LOL

Yeah, I had a few clutches that produced them.

 

[MysticExotics]

Yeah, I had a few clutches that produced them.

I thought you might. (You have a "few" clutches a year)
So the het Lavender is probably correct, on this particular one, as is the parent info you recently sent to me, right?
(Thanks again for that!)

Here is a female adult Het Lavender.

 

[MysticExotics]

Oh wow! That's cool! Is she related to my SK Amel female?

Thanks. I'm not sure if they are related or not. Good chance they are though!
