I know there are a few people who have been waiting to see what would come from breeding these two girls~
Both are WC 03 subadult females with what LOOKS like the "het pied markers" so many people talk about
Lips:

and Hydra


which I bred to a 100% het pied male WITHOUT the markers (he is a proven het pied from RDR~ purchased directly from RDR so I am sure of his genetics)


I knew there was not really any chance the females were hets......but we all like to dream a little~ and with everything you hear about the "het pied markers" I just had to pair these girls up to a known het pied to see. Between the two girls I got 13 babies~ three are males and ten are females. Great ratios! But no pieds. Oh well~ I didn't actually expect any......but I was hoping to be the next lucky SOB everyone hated! LOL! Oh well~ at least I've got plenty of 50% het girls to work with later! Got another female from a different clutch this morning so now I have 11 poss het girls and more clutches to hatch! (this mornings clutch ratio was not as good though~ 4.1) I'll get a pied some day~ probably from these girls before my 100% het girl ever goes ahead and gets to work for me!
