A Silver Bullet for Christmas ! 
Dear Herpers ! 2009 has been a very good year for Atomic Animals considering the many great mutations born here. We think about our Patternless Longicaudas, Pewter Bee and so on... To go on with good things, our last clutch gave us a lot of surprises ! From the 6 eggs laid by what we now think to be a Black Pastel bred to our Pewter male hatched 2 Cinnamons, 2 Pastels and 1 Pewter. Where we are about to think that the mother is a Black Pastel is when from the last egg hatched not less than a Silver Bullet ! That great surprise let us see that coming new year in a very positive way. We want to thank you all for your confidence and wish you a very good and positive new year ! All the very best. The Atomic Animals Team |

PinDoubleStripe without pins ! 
Here are some pics of one of our last Pinstripes. The colour and patern at least on one of them (pictured here) is really amazing. Almost no dots on the body and a nice long double stripe running from head to tail ! The ground body colour is of a very nice golden with more yellow between the dorsal stripes. Their father (Markus Jane Line) also have that kind of double stripe, even if it's less complete. It makes us think that this will be an heritable trait . |

Unbelievable! 
The 4th of november we've been very surprised to find one of our female coiled around her clutch of 6 eggs (634g). The potential fathers are a TBP (To Be Proven) Morph, Pewter, Mojave or Lesser. What is also surprising is that the males have been removed from the female in the middle of March and has laid her eggs not far from 8 months later ! Let's see what will happen in around 50 days ! |

Our last clutch for 2009 ! 
We've been very pleased to see 3 Pinstripe out of 7 eggs hatch this week. Those babies have the same "double stripe" as their father, but much more pronounced as they run from head to tail. One of the 3 babies is particularly yellow, with very low black spots on the body and a wonderful double stripe. We expect a lot from those babies once ready... We will only let one male go, be ready ;-) |

Sunday hatched what we were looking for: 1 male Lesser Lemon Pastel ! 
Sunday we had the good surprise to see our clutch of Lesser x Lemon Pastel hatch. Out of the eggs came 1.0 Lesser Lemon Pastel, 1.1 Lemon Pastel and 1.1 Normal... We hope that the LLP male will give us very soon the pleasure to get Queen Bee, Woma Lesser Pastel and many more that we have to try. CU for our coming clutch of Genetic Stripe to hatch... ;-) |
