hey there mate re the black jungle...

he started life as a nice black and gold and at a later point in life started turning blacker and blacker with every shed much like reverse calico, he is currently 10yrs old and is a krauss line palmerston

i actually have his 6yr old daughter whome does not exhibit his blackening at all but theyre 09 daughter is starting to blacken out so fingers crossed she goes all out black like her father
