[QUOT E=Corning;1717714]So pretty I just love him[/QUOTE]

Thank you!
He is honestly the chillest dude... I Got home from vacation today and he immediately came out to see me. I was giving him fresh water and doing some spot cleaning, and he followed me around the whole time =) He's amazing.
 
The boys are so in tune, they do this all the time.
Love my guys, they have so much personality.

Thank you.
I was honestly expecting him to get that super yellow nose I see a lot of similar morphs with... not even close lol so I'm pretty fascinated with how his coloring is coming along =)

I have only heard of two cases where a lavender based morph allegedly developed carotenoid yellowing. One I'm rather convinced was not actually lavender, and the other did not have a particularly clear photo. Still, I do trust the latter source, so perhaps it is just exceedingly rare.
 
Yeah I was doing some reading on that.
I honestly don't mind, I think he looks great without that yellow nose.
I was just curious if he would develop that there since his neck got so yellow early on.. But as he's grown the yellow on his sides has toned down.
It's really interesting to watch them develop =)
 
I remember that and went back to look. In early 2016 especially it was pretty solidly yellow. Coincidentally (or perhaps not so?) Steve R. also has a lavender with very yellow-colored neck, though I don't think there's any yellow on the face. Curious if yours might be a relative.
 
I'm a little behind, but since I've been hanging out on the forum a little more lately, I thought I'd check out my opal's brother from another mother. LOL
Tom looks great! His face is just exactly like what I'm used to looking at. They could be twins. Such a beautiful morph.
 
Girl!! He JUST shed tonight - so tomorrow after work I'm taking him out to get new / recent photos.
I am blown away by his coloring, it's just beautiful. Thank you for checking in, stay tuned and I shall pop up some ( hopefully ) good pictures of Tom!

New pictures are always fun. Can't wait!
 
Took the boys outside today.
My handsome handsome man Tom.
Look at those beautiful eyes.
