I've been working with these since about 2002. I have been holding back babies that have the most intricate lateral patterning, and have finally been able to produce some outstanding babies this year (albeit only 5 of them). Here are some pictures of them.

Just beautiful -- looks like they got riddled with buckshot. Nice work, and let's see the rest already. Nothing like selective breeding.

I'll post pictures of all of them after they shed. I'm thinking of calling this guy "pitchfork" cuz of the cool head pattern

That's very cool Paul. That is about the busiest side patterns I've seen on knobs before.

Hey Randy,
These are actually from some of Dennis' animals. He sold me this really cool male in '02 with the busy side patterns and low black, and the female is a normal but really heavy black. Each year I'd get one with the busy side patterns, some low black like the dad, some high black like the mom. So I've been holding the best ones back and started putting them together last year. This years are the best I've gotten but I couldn't get her to double clutch.
