My darn computer crashed on Saturday, and has been completely non-functional until today....when I got my restore disks from home and restored it to when I bought it... In other words I lost EVERYTHING I had on it before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So anyway...if anyone missed me that's what happened! I've been busy all day today trying to get all my programs reinstalled!

Hi Christina,
Sorry about your 'puter crashing. I hate when that happens. Oh, btw, I went to your site and your info page has a picture covering your bio. It's kinda funny, it says "About me" and there's a picture of your dog! LOL!
Anyways, glad you could get your computer back up.

Hi Christina

I took a look at your site as well. You mention the following in a description of one of your females:

She does have some VERY slight kinking at the tip of her tail which is believed to be due to shipping in too large of a container.

I read something recently that backcrossing leos to get specific triats to appear causes some negative side affects like the kinking you are seeing.

You might want to think about not breeding her to keep this trait out of your project.

I'm sure someone on here that breeds large numbers of leos can shed more light on this.

Regards,

Terry

Actually, I got her from Rick, who actually posted in this thread...lol I'm totally aware that tail kinking can be genetic...however in her case it's not believed to be. Rick never noticed the kinking before he shipped her to me (and its not so slight as to not be noticeable), and she was lost in the mail for 3 or 4 days. She was also shipped in a pretty large container that would definitely have allowed her to be banged around. I mentioned it on the website just to be truthful and to let people know that the kinking does exist...even though I'm pretty sure it was caused in shipping. Oh, and I'm not blaming Rick!!!! He was great to deal with and I would definitely recommend him!

The unsexed albino looks like a yellow phase tremper rather than a tangerine. Or do I just have a really crappy comp.
