This seems like something you'd like

A couple years ago I was at a friend's house checking out his stuff. He had a group of Creamsicle hatchlings that looked great but they really aren't "my thing" so I only took a quick glance. Well, 3 of them immediately caught my eye. They had big wide Okeetee-like borders. I ended up taking them home with me. I later lost interest but just never got around to getting rid of them.

All my corns are in brumation except these and some other odds & ends. I was cleaning & feeding today and decided to take a couple pics. Check these out, they really turned out cool. The female almost looks like a rev. okeetee. The male has reddish saddles and wide borders, there's another male not pictured, he has more typical Cream coloration but also has big wide borders.

I really had no intentions of breeding them but figured I go ahead and throw them together...look what they did within the hour...

I was contemplating breeding her with either a Florescent Orange or an SMR Motley Sunglow, 2 extra males I have hanging around with no particular breeding plans, but I think this will make a nice project

Mike,
Put me on the list for a pair from that breeding. Especially if they get the good white borders.
I will be breeding my female again this season and plan on keeping the best specimens from that breeding. Hopefully they will look as good as the one I kept this season. I should have kept more but I didn't really notice just how nice the borders were until I looked at some pictures after selling all of them off.
Maybe we could even make a trade?
Plenty of time to worry about that, though.
Here is the mother. Her borders weren't quite thick enough but she obviously had potential.

and another look at the picture I posted Friday night

I also found a picture of one of the ones I sold. It looks like it would have turned out quite interesting.

Those white borders really set them off. NICE... I just had to throw in my 2 cents...

I will keep in touch.
My memory isn't very good either but I add notes with e-mail addys and make sure to check every week or two to make sure I'm not forgetting something.
I just have to remeber to put the note with the addy....lol

Not at all what I would look for in a Creamsicle. I do not like the Creamsicles that look like flourescent or Reverse Okeetees. Much prefer the ones with little or no border. Anyone else?
