Are all x-treme hypos male? As far as I've seen all the pix I've seen of x-tremes are titled this lil 'guy' or my 'male,' someone please help. I got a nice hypo male (although sold to me as a female) he got ruby red eyes, lavender bands, and uni-colored (nice florescent orange) and I wanted to bred him to an extreme, but I can't seem to find any ads for x-treme females.

and they look the same.
You won't probably see any ads for extreme's atleast for a while.
Also be carefull,I bought a "extreme" male this year (not going to mention any names)and it was not even close to a extreme.It looked like it in the picture and the price was killer (if it was really a extreme)but infact it was just a light colored one that was over exposed?

I would have called it a ultra light hypo.Much lighter than a normal hypo but not a extreme.

Thanx for the reply.
Are extreme females that hard to come by? How old are yours. When will they be ready to breed? What's the cost on extremes? I'm not really sure, I've seen um for $500 but that was a while back. I really really NEED an extreme female. I'm selling most of my "odds and low-ends" to fund my Honduran and Brooksi projects. hopefully we can do business soon.

They're just not being produced in big #s yet?I think the going price is about $1000.00ea

Mine will breed in (06)although one male I have will breed next year but not to a extreme female as I won't take a chance on breeding a female at 18 months.
