Tim Ricks line

KrazyKritters1 Aug 30, 2008 07:02 AM

Is there any identifying markings that might be helpful in verifying his line?

Not sure just what "line" you're talking about but Tim had a few and also crossed a few. His FL (axanthics) he sometimes had as two different "lines". One he called "smooth" or "shiny" or something like that. They were definitely different than his black and white ones. Possibly from Lemke x NE??
I do know that one from a 2x het/ghost X 2x het/ghost I have now has that look and another has a more 'normal" look. Both are from his lines.
I have a feeling he played with them all and had many different outcomes.
I really have no idea and haven't spoken to Tim in years now, so maybe someone who follows this stuff closer than I do can chime in.

I'm seeking if he was still working with Lavenders pre Katrina?

That was a stupid question pre Katrina could be anytime...

My Lav's came from a dealer at a New Orleans Repitcon show in 2006. Dealer only had these 2 FL kings on his table, the bulk was corns/reds and some CA kings.

If his Lav's had any charecterics or identifying markings that could help figure out if the two I bought were generic Lav's or possibly Tim Ricks stock.

I bred an ISIS male (pictured) to both female 1 & 2 and to a hypo (no pictures of the babies yet).

From female #1
Orange female

Palish pink male

From female #2
Orange male (he's my fav)

I know just plain ole lavenders but I like them.

I also need a better camera then this Kodak DX7590. Any suggestions?

Sony Cybershot.... Most (if not all) work great!

The have lots of variety now... waaaay cheaper than i paid (i'm kinda pissed!!!!)

They take great photos, auto focus is a plus, and the macro settings are a must for taking good pix with accurate colors...

all these were taken with a Cybershot DSC-T200:
