A Crimsonking Special...

Jlassiter Nov 29, 2010 12:53 AM

I picked up this girl from Mark Kenderdine in Daytona back in 2009.
She was a tiny hatchling but has been doing great. Feeding on large fuzzies now and will reach breeding size by 2012.

Mark knows I like the split saddles......And she has some nice ones.

yeah....I shoulda held the females.....hehe
I bet you will eventually end up with all sorts of "split" saddles and unconnected ones that will degrade into sort of a mosaic or granite look once you've bred a few together, huh?

That's the plan.
As far as I heard that is how the granite line originated.
The line breeding of Split saddles led to more aberrancies until they eventually produced the granites. And those ultra granites (the totally speckled ones).....The ultras are very hard to reproduce. Bob Hansen bred an ultra to an ultra this year and got only one that would be considered an ultra....the other clutchmates were normal looking with a few aberrancies around the neck area.

I plan on trying to create some granites from the split saddles one day...don't know how many generations it will take but we'll see, I hope.
