This guy is just awesome in my book. He has two females to chase this year and he has been getting the job done the past couple of days. He even took time out of his busy schedule to pose for a nice photo shoot for my niece.

I can't even believe how awesome that animal is. I really want a pair of those guys when you have some.

My niece took some really good pics of my collection the other day. It's so much easier when you have two people. I really like him too, wish I could find a female.

I don't even care about the albino, those hypos are just awesome. I wish I could get a light SFMK like that one Mark has. Very cool!

I will be adding SFMK's to the collection too... Mark has some killer stuff. Almost bought some from Mark last year, maybe this year after I finish up my SA milk collection.

Yea, that's the whole reason I passed last year. I need to get some , just finding time to catch them is the hard part.

I started getting them together now. I want to have a head start in case I have the opportunity to get some more this year. Now I need some hypos too, is there anyone that's going to have any?

Gerard, Mitch Mulks and Dave Niles might have some this year. I remember something about a breeding loan between those guys with Hypo Prairie kings.

Joe, I think you are right there. I remember Dave telling me about that, last fall. I will be holding back hets this year to breed back to him. Finding a male hypo has been hard, finding a female will prove to be harder.

Yeah, I first saw one at Daytona of 2007 on Mark Bell's table. It was awesome as all heck looking, that's for sure, but at $700 bucks it was just too much coin to throw down on a Prairie king at the time IMO. I did blow about $1100 there on a few other items though..LOL!

Very nice! I love these guys too. I may get lucky and produce some this year. Mitch Mulks and I are doing a breeding project together - he has a hypo female and I sent him this male so fingers crossed.
I noticed mine is a little more yellow than yours appears to be. I like the way yours looks a lot. Cool how they can be so variable too.

Dave, Nice example there too. Thanks for sharing. They should grow in popularity here in the near future I think. They are different and look 10 times better than the amel. Good luck to you and Mitch on this project!
