New Aquisition-Reduced Dorsal Markings

BoidMorphs Nov 04, 2012 07:40 PM

I picked this girl up locally a week ago. I needed a totally unrelated normal to put with the male that produced the anerys in my litter of 9/22/12 as part of my regimen of breeding trials. It wasn't until I got her home, when I realized how reduced her dorsal pattern was compared to most animals I've seen. These pics actually accentuate them when, in person, they appear to be a series of disconnected fine lines. Anyone else here have pics of similarly reduced dorsal markings you can post? I don't mean stripes or odd shaped patterns, just reduced saddle markings in general.

I used to have a male with broken patterns. The markings were still pretty bold and dark though.....

This male came to mind when I read the post. I had him (Porky) in my collection for a couple years, and just recently sold him last month. However, I see the buyer has already listed him in the classifieds with a female. Strange...

One of his daughters had similar markings in a litter I had a couple years ago. I meant to keep her, but accidentally sold her! Oops!

I just checked out Porky at your website and recognized him right away from the animal for sale as part of a pair here in the classifieds. I thought he looked pretty cool in the ad.
Regarding the female you sold, don't you hate saying to yourself, after the fact, what was I thinking? lol

Thanks, I worked out a trade for one of my cages and then sold a second cage for cash so it's all good. Now I have a huge ready to breed virgin female (after proper quarantine) and space for my new rack system from Animal Plastics (when it gets here)!
