Wow, those Easterns look amazing. The amount of yellow you're able to see in the shade (assuming they are in the shade as I can see a bit of sun in some pictures), they must be blinding in the sun! The reds are fantastic too, so is their patterning.

Lovely colours on the blotchies as well, one on the left has a nice pattern on the jaw area.

yep all photos were taken in the afternoon shade, i find with my camera in direct light its just to glary, They will become brighter yellow as they age, i have been working with this line for quite a few years now. a few of these will be going to their new owners next week, hopefully they will give me updates, though after raising a few years worth i pretty much know what they will look like as adults.

Fair enough, in the shade our camera takes pictures that are too dark, have to take the photographs in sunlight or somewhere only covered by cloud cover and not shade produced by trees or other back yard items. Still, for pictures of the bubs in the shade, they have very nice colouration.

To be so yellow at that age, the adults would look fantastic. I think I've seen some of your adults (either on this forum or another one), they are crackers - impressive work in regards to the line! It is nice to see Easterns being worked on, as much as I love the hypermelanistics, 'standard' Easterns are simply gorgeous. Although these seem to be far from the typical Easterns one would see in the wild or even purchase. To see my first Eastern brighten with age was quite the enlightenment, I thought he'd either stay the same or darken. It's not exactly something you would notice on a almost entirely black animal, I can only tell my hypermelanistic is in shed by the belly scales turning white!

The first (from the top) and third and fifth from last Easterns, their colours and patterns are something else. :D
