ORANGE DELIGHT

tgcorley Aug 06, 2011 05:11 PM

Here are some photos of my clutch of nine offspring from a VR orange leonis male and a Bates orange intermediate with high contrast. All have shed and three have already taken a FT pink. Four females and five males. The orange shades range from intense apricot to a burnished orange. Lots of intense color with this clutch!

Here are the first three females:

Those orange babies look like they will grow up to be as crisp and bright as the parents! Splendid animals!

Good eye, Jorge. That picture of the Mom was taken before she reached one year. I'll try to find a more recent picture and post it soon.

Thanks, Randy. As you know, it's all in the genes. And this batch has great genes for orange!

Those are awesome!

Thanks, Ross. I was surprised to see all of those bright little heads sticking out of the eggs. Color-wise, not so much diversity in this generation.
