Who produces the cleanest Tri color Hondurans ? In clean I mean in regards to the white rings. Anybody have pics of their real clean adult Tri color Honduran ?

Keith,

You may have a bit of a challenge finding clean tricolor Hondurans. Before the morphs hit the market, the main emphasis was in producing clean tangerines. Although tricolors were initially used to breed with both anerythristics and albinos, in the case of albinos, the focus has shifted to tangerines. I have seen quite a few adult tricolors and almost all were dark - more from an overall wash than from black flecking.

There isn't really much of a market for normal tricolor Hondurans, so it's unlikely that very many people are selectively breeding them. I've seen some really since hypo tricolors though.

I don't have pix of them, but i've owned some extremely clean tricolors in the past, that were het/anerythristic. That bloodline seemed to produce some extra-nice tricolors. They weren't white, though--the mid-triad rings were bright yellow. If you're searching for extra nice tricolors you might touch base with someone focusing on anerythristics. I dunno who that would be, though.

Keith that's a good question. Most of my TC have that peppering affect going on. Here's a het/albino that's pretty white, but still a little peppered, and a large dbl het that's more yellow, but also has that peppering going on.

Actaully those are what I would want in a Tricolor Honduran. The peppering is fine Im more referring to the dirty wash some of them get.

Keith check out Mike Falcon. He has sent me some killer hets that were super clean. Like Terry said one was a het anery. Looking at his tables I always remarked at how clean his tris where. In fact I have a het ghost that I picked up this year that is clean too. Email me if you need contact info.

Here goes one.....

Hey Jim, not sure if you remember but i contacted you about those tricolor hypo you produced this season, is that the female used to produce the killer extreme-ish hypo male??? if not can you post a pic of the 2x het female used...

Thanx

That's a 6 foot male that produced some nice tc hypos and this ghost, but not the ones you asked about. I don't have a photo of her, but if I remember all get one this weekend and post it.
Thanks
Jim

Jim,

That is one nice ghost, so many turn dark and get a little ugly as they age, hope that one stays clean for you.

Thanks guys, she will be breeding for the first time next year and she looks even better as she ages.

Keith, here are a couple of "normal" adults that I have (not designer, het, hypo, or anything else). The female has the lower number of red body rings.

Nice, I really like the one with "high" band count.
