The Black Mr. and the Green Lady

PhilippeLamarre Nov 24, 2009 03:21 PM

Hey guys, just thought i'd post a pic of my pair of emeralds... I've been raising the both of them since they were babies and the female is finally ready this year . I bought the male as a red baby without any black at all, now he's getting darker every day!!!!

The male

The female

I'm going to set them up in a nice new cage this week, i'll make sure to keep you guys updated on what it looks like .

Awesome!

What´s the story on this black guy?

PhilippeLamarre Nov 26, 2009 10:20 PM

I got him as a red WC baby while he didnt have any red on him. He just grew up and started developping all those dark pigments .

Very nice Phil!
I think you will have a lot of interest in the offspring from the black guy-that morph is very popular down here.

Best of luck for the season!

Warm regards,
Jeff

Thanks guys . I almost had a tear when i transfered the both of them into their pairing bin for the winter today... The male is SO beautiful...

The melanistic specimens where really impressing me before i even knew mine was, and here he is . I'll probably be able to post
some new pics for you guys very soon!!!!

The only thing is that i'm affraid that people will inbreed the babies i produce, if i do produce any. I do NOT want that and i know the morph people will be very enthousiastic with the idea... I don't really know what to do with that. I think i'll only sell singles, or something like that.

...Or else i'll do my best to inform people about the impacts of inbreeding...

...or you could just make sure that the people you sell them to are trustworthy
Looking good Phil
