Very nice morph, if you are able, pick one out in person. Pictures do not do them justice.

At first I didn't really think anything of them but after buying 2 I am hooked. I would like to add alot more color and possibly clean the up a bit but I also dig the speckling just as much. There is a ton of variety in them and much more to be seen in the future!

Honestly, I'm more of a pattern than a color guy which makes arabesques a favorite morph.
This little dude is an 05 het for albino. Kind of speckly, I know, but I really like the evenly spaced saddles(and they say that it’s a marker for the albino gene). He's a really sweet (as in nice) animal, too. I got him as a TINY baby at Daytona 05 and have been raising him up. This pic is old.
I'm hoping to breed him to my 04 hypo (pictured) next year for the 07/08 season. She's got perfect evenly spaced bowtie saddles. I'm hoping for her to clean up the speckling and reduce the width of the saddles as well as add in some more color for some nice hypo arabesques.
For the 08/09 season, I'll give the hypo a year off and have been raising up this little female albino (also pictured). Again, she has thin evenly spaced saddles. (See a theme here?) I have my suspicions that she's got some suri blood in there somewhere since she has widow's peaks on her saddles and had a sensitive stomach in the beginning (not anymore!) I think they'll make some nice albino arabesques.
Sorry all the pics are old. My girlfriend is getting a camera for Christmas so we're planning to get a lot of pics out next year as we prepare for breeding.
I'd recommend an arabesque any day. They're great! I love mine. His name’s Clyde. The hypo is Bonnie and the albino is Blanca.
