VPI T POSITVE SUNGLOWS!!!

creptilia May 30, 2009 06:01 PM

It has been 4-5 years in the making and THOUSANDS of dollars later, but we finally have VPI T Positive Sunglows! I have attached a no-frills, preshed, moist papertowel, one-day-old pic, as to not have anyone wait 2 weeks for a reveal (it does him/her NO JUSTICE AT ALLLLLLLLL). All the babies are unbelievable, and PINK! There may be something to this Pink Panther phenomenon in the VPI line of T Positives, though my male T Pos was not designated a "Pink Panther" (he is pre-Pink Panther). The dam is a very clean and colorful girl- it is obvious her genes went to work on these little gems.

It is cool to see a tub of VPI and Paradigms side by side to compare. Overall, the Paradigms have a more ghostly appearance and the VPI's are contrasty. Variety is the spice of life!

I will make sure to post pics after they have shed- maybe, even some comparison shots.

Hi Jeff. Here is a Boaphile cage shot after I lifted a section of the cardboard. I have a pic of the mom with her babies, but it is mostly of her coming after me.

Congrats on a real crowd stopper!

comments. Sorry, I could not help myself. I told Kyle I would be happy if this was my only litter of the season- I still feel that way. I love the T Positives! I purchased a T Positive from Tracy back in 2004 mainly for investment purposes, not thinking they would quickly become my favorite morph. VPI T Positive Jungles, Arabasques, Snows and Snowglows are just around the corner! (If anyone wants to give me an Aztec, I will make sure to plug the VPI line in for you.) We are hoping to have some VPI Snows and Snowglows in a couple of years. More waiting...

Here is a pic of one of the VPI T Positives. The pink is already coming through!

I should produce a t positive sunglow motley in the next year or two from my 06 hypo het t positve Colombian to my Jeremy Stone line Colombian motley het t positive.

Ruben14 May 31, 2009 06:07 PM

We should see those this year also if their not on the ground already. Goodluck with your pair in the future. It's definitely a very cool project!
