The black Peruvians have been around forever. The Hyperpigmented ones Gus produced the first litter a couple of years ago. I picked up a female from his 08 litter and just got the other female from Chris Gilbert. Here are Chris's photos of the Hyper pigmented girl he got from Gus at Daytona.























The hyperpigmented one I got from Gus is not black and ususally has an overall cooper color. The black JR female I posted yesterday doesn't change her color other than getting blacker with each shed. I think recently black Peruvians have been getting more attention, but you are right they have been around forever. The "true" hyperpigmented ones are something Gus came across. Take that to mean it was not somethig he was breeding for.



Gus - chime in and clarify if you can. I'm sure I've left something out.



Take care,



Kevin
