The mother of these is a hypo stripe. The father is a lavender, at least het for hypo. As they grow, I am thinking the father may have been homozygous for hypo. Even the darkest ones don't have much black on them.

Good looking group you have there Kent! I love that first pic with them all poking their heads out, lol. Wait till you breed some siblings together. That's when the magic happens!

Hey Jorge! Yes, I have a pair picked that I will keep. The lightest two in the second pic. The hard part will be waiting 2 years. They are growing like weeds, and already eating fuzzy mice.
