Your Questions Answered
What can I expect from the coloration as it matures?
The bright yellow and high contrast of the Pastel Bamboo will remain prominent into adulthood, though some browning or "fading" of the yellow is possible, which is typical for Pastel-influenced morphs. The Bamboo patterning will stay crisp and dark.
What is the recommended quarantine procedure?
House the new animal separately from your collection for a minimum of 60-90 days. Monitor feeding response, weight, and overall health closely during this period before introducing it to other reptiles or shared equipment.
What are the primary breeding projects for this morph?
The Pastel Bamboo is a fantastic base for projects involving other co-dominant genes like Pinstripe, Mojave, or Lesser. Breeding it to a normal can produce Pastels, Bamboos, and double-hets, while breeding to another Pastel Bamboo can yield Super Pastel Bamboos.
