fantastic............

I am a year away from breeding my own kingsville red/ stillwater hypo pair and if they look half as nice as those babies I will have trouble letting any of them go!

My male has an almost carrot orange ground color with greenish grey saddles where as the female is a paler orange with burnt creme saddles..........I can't wait!

congrats

no, actually you are correct. those are from het parents. when i spoke of breeding my pair I should have added that it will be my first breeding of my killer hold back pair of visual red/hypo to visual red/hypo! sorry about any confusion. on a side note, my kingsville reds just hatched and they look fantastic. The genetics are proving to be multi facited as with each successive generation they get nicer. I am currently breeding F3 to F3 siblings and these guys are looking great right out of the egg. my male is not so red but thanks to KJ taking the time to raise up a clutch of my 2007's and passing his 2nd pick red male back to me I should be able to breed my female red f3 back to her very red f4 son. i can't wait. lots more line breeding than i typically care to do but you know how it goes in search of the reddest of the reds.........

Sounds like it is the year of the Red Hypo project. I just had a clutch of 13 hatch out, unfortunately with only one hypo. The odds gods were not on my side, although the one hypo is pretty nice and the rest should be really nice as they grow. I will try to get some pics posted in the next couple of days.
