...let me explain my first venture into bloodreds.

Went to the Orlando show back in the early 90s. Bought a pair of bloods. Bred the male to the female the first year and got all slugs. Bred them together the second year, , , all slugs. Okay, here comes the best part. The third year, I still couldn't smell the coffee, so I bred the male to her again AND to three other non bloodred females. ALL slugs. Duh. Three or four wasted years, and all because I had an extremely rare morph that I just had to hold faith in. If I could have sued that male for felonously eating my mice, with no intentions of compensation, I would. Finally, after three years of that CRAP, I bred the female to another male and she did fine. She's still here, but that male disappeared. I think I refuse to tell me what I did with him, but I likely sold it to someone as a pet. Heck, HE may be the reason we're hearing so much negativity about that line. Typhoid Bob, the infamous sterile bloodred. Perhaps he's changed hands a dozen times out there and each person gets the same black eye I did. I may have shot myself in the foot for letting that crook outta my sight. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
