I bought this 1st male about '91 at a pet shop. He was an adult and was my 1st introduction to mites. I believe he was wild caught due to a couple broken ribs, and a never changing terrible attitude. I doubt he was a Columbian as he never grew past 4 1/2 feet @ around 14 tears old. He sure bred everything in sight. He died before I got a Digi camera, so this is a funky pic of a photograph (dangerously cheesy).

You've all seen me post this one by now. He's an '04 male Aby line. When I saw him he reminded me of my old one (but ten times nicer). They shared that same type of striping past their head. I simply love this one and you'll soon get sick of him. Some of you will reply " keep posting him, we won't get sick of it" --OH YES YOU WILL HA HA HA Ha ha ha .

nice girl ! Thanks for posting , they really do look alike. Was she from a group of these, or a "one of a kind"? Thanks, David

Hi.

There were a few of similar pattern in the same litter. (Picture here below is her brother)
But the other ones didnt have as much aberrant pattern that my female. Some did almost have as much but not really.
I dont know yet if this is genetic, but if it turns out to be. How much could it be worth?
Maybe I should cross the female with my hog-island male if it shows to be genetic. Especially if it turns out to be a co-dominant gene.

Here is the females brother. He is turning out very yellow!

Best regards,

this would be a case where breeding them together would start the "proving" process. Or breed to an unrelated normal, and raise some of those up to be bred together or back to the parents. I'm not an advocate of inbreeding other than to prove out a possible genetic, and then move on. -For the record
