Here is a het-applegate female. I've got babys from her the last 3 years in a row. She has quite a few black crossovers and to me,looks more like a zonata-(parvirubra) at first glance. This year she laid a clutch of 5-(from breeding X an Applegate phase male) and hatched 2 female applegates,and 2.1 hets. All the hets are really neat looking with lots of heavy pattern,especially on the lateral. I like the ones with more of heavy pattern too,it gives more to look at. But I do also like the looks of a very clean Applegate phase. To be honest, I like all the looks and variables of pattern and color between pyros.
