Well, I found the key to making the PERFECT Hypo Motley. Just use ARABESQUE. Who would have thought that just adding arabesque would make the Hypo Motley look how people thought it should look?

I also just had a large litter of Sunglow/Hypo/normal arabesques, and all the Hypo Arabesques look just like normal Arabesques, but are hypo. I have known this for awhile, but it seems with more breedings that the Hypo does very little to the Arabesque except change the color. Which is GOOD. However, the Hypo mostly destroys the Motley pattern. Now, we know how to make them look like what many wanted. Just ad a little Arabesque.

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts. I'm excited to see the look, but this litter was actually heartbreaking.

Amazing...Great job!

I've been wondering how the Motley and Arabesque cross would turn out! So I think so far this year we've had a few pattern crosses - Jungle x Arabesque and now Motley x Arabesque! Have we had Motley x Jungle yet? Maybe someone's got a litter cooking for later this season?

I love seeing all the new designer morphs - very cool indeed!

A question I have (although I think I may already know the answer) - which bellly dominates in the cross? The white, patternless belly of the Motley or the super speckled belly of the Arabesque? If the Motley belly dominated, is there pattern on the underside of the tail area after the vent?

Congrats again!

Thanks,
Celia

I think Jeremy produced Hypo Motley Jungles. I may be wrong though.

I don't think I've seen the Arabesque Jungle, do you have a picture, or a link?

Thanks for the Replies Everyone and Celia. Celia, I did produce the Hypo Motley Jungle. If you look at the forum a week or two ago, I posted pictures. They have all shed now, so I'll post more soon. Take Care, Jeremy

Yes! That does look perfect! At least you did it! Now just get ready to do it again! Great post...thanks for sharing! Andy Federico

I was looking on Pete Kahl's website earlier this week, he produced a litter of sunglow arabesques from a Lipstick line hypo female het albino x sunglow arabesque male. Now, the father of the litter, (sunglow arabesque, did look like a normal arabasque, as you mentioned) However these baby sunglow arabesques came out NUTTY looking, with a spot-like pattern. I e-mailed him and asked if he attributed that "spot" affect to the hypos affect on the arabesque pattern, or if possibly the lipstick line could've had something to do with it. He seems to think its the hypo-arabesque cross that did it. I have seen many hypo arabesques that have a very normal arabesque pattern, but is slightly different. But these sunglow arabesques are UNREAL. I HIGHLY recommend looking them up. They are in the birthing records, page 3. heres the link directly to the page.... http://www.pkreptiles.com/birthingrecord/index.asp?page=3&season=2006&type=L
