Sometimes we need to make adjustments!!

I started the season planning on pairing 2 Lipstick Sunglows but after a very short time my male developed an infection in both hemipenis's.
Here's is the female Lipstick Sunglow

Here she is with the male Lipstick Sunglow. You can see his hemipenis area is swollen.

Here's a better picture where you can see the swelling on both sides. He's been sidelined but I am beginning to finally see some results after a round of antibiotics.

Here's the same female with one of two, very young Male Albino Motley's I got from Tibor Papp. Each one has copulated with her numerous times in the last week so let's hope an ovulation is just around the corner!!

Tom,

Sorry to hear about your male.

Tibor is a good friend of mine and has produced some beautiful motleys. I hope that female ovulates for you.

Hey do me a favor please say Hi to Mike Panichi for me.

Best of luck with your season.

I hope he gets better. I have a male jungle (het albino) that can't seem to "stay" healthy either. I had big plans for him with my female sunglow.

You've got some awesome genetics at your facility, best of luck with your breeding season.

Tom,
Those are some killer looking lipsticks, esp that female. Deep intense color. If anyone else but you posted those pics, Id guess photo shop, lol. But having picked out some lipstick line animals from you, I know how killer that line is. Tibor has some real nice Sunglow Mots too. Not sure what line he used exactly, but mixed in with that killer Sunglow lipstick, Im sure you will produce some of the best out there again.

PS- Tom here is a pic of that killer hypo arab het lipstick male I picked up from you last spring, courting my lipstick sunglow Motley. Im hoping I can produce some killer animals like you do.

Best of luck with all your pairings this season.

I hope he recovers for you. That female is the best I have ever seen.
