Interesting clutch...opinions?

FireStorm Oct 03, 2011 11:15 AM

I purchased the female that produced these as part of a collection sale as a normal proven breeder. I paired her with both a fire and a mojave...looks like the fire got the job done. 1st pic is a Granite? baby, then a Fire Granite? and a regular Fire (I've been calling them possible Granites, but I have no idea). 2nd pic (2nd post is the Granite? next to a normal sib. Last one (3rd post, sorry don't know how to get them all in one post) is mom.

Here's mom. I'd also love opinions on what to pair her with next. I'm thinking either Fire again, or Mojave, or Yellowbelly.

Yeah, there's definitely something goin on there. Not necessarily a traditional Granite either. Very nice. If you got a male from her this year, raise him and breed him back to her and see if you get some kind of crazy Super.

The really dark baby is a female (the one time I would have liked a male, of course) but the baby in the center in the first pic is male, and I'm pretty sure he's Fire and whatever mom's got going on...I'm terrible at pics but in person he looks alot different than the other Fires in the clutch. I'm planning on holding on to him and breeding him back. I would be thrilled if it turns out to be something since I paid a normal price for mom, and she gave me 8 eggs so she's a good girl regardless

Wow, She's Gorgeous!!! I love the darker brown dots in the lighter brown patches, that's really cool. I agree with the other post, keep back the most interesting looking male and put back to mom. As for in the mean time while that male is growing up, you've already done the Fire pairing so I'd try for whatever other male you have to see what happens.
