Well, this little project has been a long time in the making. This female was CH2002, and I raised her from a pup. I found her mate (CH2003) a year later from the same source. Both are nearly identical, with a reduced dark pattern, clear white belly, and a velvety/canvas appearance. The male was also bred to a more typical normal female (due any day). I should know soon whether this trait is inheritable....I can't image its not.





Getting mom off revealed 4 long and skinny but fertile eggs...


I'll post a picture of the breeding and ovulation in another post below. I am so looking forward to the first of June!
