Tricolor Hypo First Shed

Adam Willich Aug 03, 2005 08:29 AM

This little male was from the Extreme X Tangerine Hypo pairing. I was very surprised when 2 Tricolors come out. This one looks pretty nice after his first shed but not as nice as the one Shannon has from last year. I do hope we start seeing more of the Tricolor Extremes/Hypos and they continue to get refined.
Just wanted to share.

Hi Adam,

Have you posted a 2-wkeeks later pic yet of the bedautiful hypo you posted a pic of july 22 at 21:02? It was a beautiful animal and beautiful pic. Surely an extreme? I'm wondering how it looks now that it's shed. I've been traveling and this is the first chance i've had in a while to look in on the forums--i'll continue awol for 3-4 more days but may get a chance to look in again and see if you've posted anything more recent.

peace
terry

Terry,
Hi to you. I hope to get some better natural light shots this weekend of the ones from that clutch and a few more. I will try and post them if they are not so squirmy and sit still for a pic or two. I have noticed a great difference with some sired from the Extreme VS a normal Hypo but have not made a call on all of them yet. I am now seeing what Shannon was thinking or referring to. If you are not to busy at Daytona please stop over and take a look at a few of them in question. I think it was once said that there may be levels of the look, some 10's for sure and others that fall into a 6-8 scale range. These, I am not sure of and you and a few other may have more experience to offer you opinion and seeing in person rather than photos I feel is best. If not I understand and I know you will be busy and have lots of your own little ones and I do plan to stop and meet you.
Kind Regards,
Adam
