Some of the herd (DU beware)

flavor Dec 29, 2006 07:07 PM

I haven't posted any pics in a while. Here ar some of my scaley friends.

This first one is Ruby. She's a 5-year-old female who gave birth to this year and last year's hyp clutches. She gets a few years off now.

This is Sherman. He's Ruby's brother. This year, he fathered his first clutch with a another het animal (she's in shed).

Sorry. Hit the post button on accident. I'm nowhere near finished.

This is one of my oldest hypo males. He was born in 1996 to the Ross Hets that started this line. He's a fantastic breeder and, hopefully, he'll pull through for me again this year.

This is Angel. She's a normal female and completely unrelated to any of the animals in my collection. I'm going to pair her up with the hypo male this year to produce another het line.

Here's a pic of one of this year's het for hypo babies. I think she has some outstanding contrast.

Here are a couple of shots of a two-year-old hypo female. This is the coloration I'm really going for with this line. She's a vibrant peach colored animal. The pics are pretty accurate

Finally, this is the female anery who is also het for hypomelanism. She's starting to take on her adult coloration. Her father is the adult hypo pictured above. Her mother is an anerythristic animal who is in a friend's collection.

And as nice as the pics are, The reality is, they look sooo much better in person.

Mike and I live so close we get to visit from time to time. How cool is that? Visiting him and seeing his collection of BRB's Chondros and his setup was definately an inspiration.
