Just hatched a new cbb bloodline of superdwarves a couple weeks ago. These 12 are the first to shed out. Both sire and dam are LTC Kalaotoas reportedly.

Here's a pic of the dam on one of her really bright days.

Cory,

Those are some very special looking retics! I find it intriguing that the truly "super dwarf" retic locality types have that silver appearance that both your clutch and ours shared when bred to the albino mainland traits. Interesting indeed...

Congratulations on a beautiful and special clutch!

Regards,
Jordan

I see green on the babies so I guess the female isn't axanthic or anything of that sort. If you just showed me that photo and said she was I would believe you. She is gorgeous, stunning, maybe even striking? Congratulations!
I take it that this is the first captive breeding of this locale?

Superdwarves have been produced a few times over the last several years. As far as locale, you can't believe everything that exporters tell you, which is why I described them as being "reportedly" Kalaotoas. What I do know, is that they fit within the parameters of what most would consider a superdwarf to be... less than 10'.

The babies tend to brighten up within their first year... most sd neos I've seen are fairly dark in comparison to their adult counterparts. Also, they can color shift to an extreme degree. The dam can go from steel gray to almost brown to bright silver. I caught her on a good day when I snapped that pic. I doubt it has anything to do with being axanthic or anery or what not, but it's a bit premature to say one way or another.

Congrats on the clutch. I have seen alot of sd's but I seen this pic and she reminds me alot of one of my females. Not trying to jack your thread with this pic but just thought I would show you her.

Sorry, Here she is...

Thanks for sharing Travis. Is she the female that produced for you?
