They are all really nice, Congratulations on hatching them.
What did the parents look like? What line are they off of?

Maclav is from Czechoslovakia....
I think he was stating that they were his product, but more than likely he got them from somewhere in Germany.
His post that had some information concerning these animals was again...."DELETED"
I guess the moderator thought he was advertising.....

Thanks John,
I wish they would quit deleting post.
His line is very nice, I was wondering since they look a little different than the Bell line. Get him to post on the other forum if you can.

Yes, Vaclav is from Czech. His line is his own as far as I know, he was already working on it years ago when I have met him first time.

Actually there is very funny story how this line was started. I was translating it for him from czech to english and I couldn't help myself to stop laughing.. )

Yep, hard to say why but Vaclav's messages got deleted quite often.

Nope, Gerrit (Helming/Burnsy) is not involved as far as I know.

Here is brief story.. Vaclav really liked L.m.m. so he managed to them and breed them.. in 1998 clutch he had found a few hatchlings with some slight flickers of pattern disintegration, but he did not pay antention to that..

But 2-3y later he had seen a few Lmm hatchling with a slightly more disintegrated pattern.. so that time he paid attention to that and bought them all.. Trader did not want to say from where they are comming from, so he asked him to keep all similar for him in future.. so from that time for several years he was buying 1-3 similar hatchlings each year.. In the meantime he was working on it to make this pattern disintegration genetically stable and appearing on whole body. It was not easy, better say it was very tricky, but each year he was closer and closer.. untill he made it happen.

Where is that funny point? All that hatchlings with slightly disintegrated pattern which he was buying each year like a crazy were coming from pair which he had sold in 1998 to some breeder in some distant CZ region...

There is much more in the story.. but you should ask Vaclav about that.. not me..
