Zoe is soooo hot and I can't wait for her to grow up and put some more color on. Hope the dorsal stripe continues
Bob

rainbowsrus Sep 17, 2007 11:22 PM

Even without the dorsal striping, Zoe'd be a keeper so no brainer, try and work on the striping and if that doesn't work out, I'd still be producing more nice babies.

Found a lunar website that describes phases of the moon.

Crescent = less than half moon
Quarter = half moon
Gibbous = greater than half moon

Of course crescents sounds a lot better than Gibbous(es)!

I'd have to agree that crescent sounds the coolest of the three, guess we'll have to stick to crescents.

Not my best holdback, that year all the really hot ones were all males, still Lucy is looking great and really on track for the 2008 breeding season. Besides shedding, she left a big steamy present for me to clean up. After all that, she weighed in at 1762 Grams (almost 4 lbs). Nice color, descent crescents, should drop some really nice babies next year!!

Tommy is one of several groups I purchased in 2004 for bloodline diversity, This may be his last set of pics as I plan on selling him at a upcoming show. There were two other "females" that turned out to be males so I was all of a sudden male heavy. Compounding that was my thoughts in 2005 that I was male light so I held back extra males.... Ah well. Tommy is a very nice orange phase. Glad he shed so I could get adult pics for the web site as he was part of this years breeding program.

One of my favs of the Will Bird babies. Like Ginger, Dot has nice full crescents with some bullseyes, but she has more intense color. Dot also has the Silver gray eyes, stunning in person!! For those that have some of the Will Bird babies you know. They have this intensity to the color that is not in your typical BRB. From what Will told me, these are directly descended from Leticia Columbia locality BRB's from Lamar's collection. No real paperwork to back that up but I'll still stand by the fact they are something special!!

After deciding on using the animaniac names for some of the Will Bird babies, it was clear to me who Wacko should be. Talk about your abby patterns, Wacko has it all, Blotchy, stretched, hooked, bullseyed, connected to adjacent, connected to dorsal. WOW, he's quite the unique individual!

It's so much fun having a good sized group of great looking babies to raise up. Seems like one or another is always showing freshly shed new skin and needs new updated pics taken of them. Of course the flip side is I've always got a tub or twelve (or more) that need cleaning.

Thanks, she was an easy choice. Mike had first pick on the males and pretty much they were all very similar, none stood out way above the rest. For the females I had first pick and as soon as he pulled her out I was whoa, what do we have here. Clearly the highest colored pre-shed baby of the whole lot.

any guesses????

rainbowsrus Sep 17, 2007 11:59 PM

I think it has to do with length of string. when I reorganized my pics it has made the pic address long and you're only capturing part of it. When you pull the properties up, it only shows two lines of address but the address extends into a third line. You have to click/hold/scroll down to get the full address.
