I really like this girl... old school Lemke line animal...
Would this be considered a dark phase Mex Mex?
I will have pics of some adults up soon...





Thanks for looking...
Ryan

Very nice Ryan....
How old is this girl?
She looks to be a young adult from the pics....
You will see that some Dark/Black Phase Mex Mex will get darker with age.......Some don't get real black until they are 5 or 6 or older......
So...It may be a dark phase....It certainly isn't light gray like most of the classic mex mex from the Valle de los Fantasmas......

She is a 2009. Her parents were much darker, so Im hoping that she will be a dark girl.
Thanks

Yep...all you can really do is look at the lineage...parents and grandparents.......If they are dark then she should end up dark.......Some do take longer than others.....

Heck...my ultra granite female is darkening up.......I wish they would hatch out black......lol
