>>Thank you for the best laugh I've had all day... seriously... it was good.

>>So... you bought this 'blonde' leopard for some good bucks or good trade and you got... a normal leopard.

>>I'm sure color is genetic but the leopard is unique in that if you raise it really hot and humid(relatively speaking) you get a white tortoise... a blonde. You're photo has to be the best example of this and that's why I laughed.

>>Somebody definately did something.

My question is, how come she is blonde, and then the last several years of growth have been almost all black, some marbling but for the most part just black? Any ideas? or just in the genetics and it had nothing to do with anything anyone did? thanks
