Am new to the forum but have kept and bred leopards since'89. I purchased my first stripe in '94 or '95 - it was the first one I'd seen. It had a lined and blotched pattern on the head, full stripe body and tail(and it wasn't cheap!). Even the first clutches X a normal mom produced stripes. Anyhow... even after 400 baby seasons, each egg that hatches is like opening a Christmas present. It's a lotta work but can"t wait for next season ( just got first early clutch 2 days ago). Here's one of next year's mommas - daddy's a screamin' neon orange stripe and sisters are all redstripes. Each one's different and no matter what color or pattern they are, they're all litle beauties!
