F1 Hypopastel outcrosses!!! Offspring of dragon that is the first generation out of the wild!!

alphadragon Jul 29, 2005 11:58 PM

Well Since Reptile Rooms (Cheri and Axe) are responsible for importing Box Boy and 14 other dragons I really feel that I owe it to them to post the fruits of their efforts.

These guys are growing at an astounding rate with an average size of 6 inches at 2.5 weeks These guys are now exactly 4 weeks with an average length of 7.12 inches. Two other clutches hatched out, within a day of the F1 clutch, from parents that are at least three generations apart and most likely more than 4 generations apart. The F1 outcrosses have outpaced both of the other groups that I have bred. The other groups are also large for their age but are not nearly as big as these guys. The dragons have not nipped each other and there are no bite marks in the whole group.




F1 import (Box Boy)

Mom (Sandfire Hypopastel X Dachiu hypo red hypopastel)

Thanks,
Randy

Good work Randy. Glad to see you making use of your awesome unrelated f1 import BB. It's really awesome you are noticing a size increase between these, and you other crosses. As we all know the fresh genes these will provide to many of us is LONG overdue. Unfortunately for me towards the end of the season I only had 1 female left for my import, and of course she wanted no part of it. Maybe next season for me, but great news these are doing so good for you. They look nice and light to, a great idea to add some of that new blood into the hypo lines.
