03' Normal Motley Stripe

gardenmum Jul 31, 2003 11:36 AM

This is one of my newest additions. He is a normal motley stripe with the wildest pattern and colors. I named him Snickers because he makes me think of a snickers bar with chocolate around caramel and nuts!

And yes, he taged me a couple of times. He is a fiesty little guy but is already settling down with handling.

I like this shot of him!

I really love this picture. You can even see the black pigment. It will not be noticable in 6 months I saved the picture to my harddrive. That how much I like it.

I was hoping that the black would get darker as he matured. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
He has quite a bit of black on him and he also has white between the black edges and the orange center. I will be taking a lot of pictures of this guy, I am sure, as he matures. I really hope you are wrong about the black, I like it that way

I hope you are right. But it's just that I have never seen one having the black as an adult. My female had the samel black line when she was young. At 6 months she had no black at all.

I must say she is quite a pretty girl!! I like her.
Time will tell on mine. If he loses it, well, that is the way it will be. I am sure he will still be a good looker.
