Juvenile "Chita" and "Babe"

SanDiegoBRB Jun 05, 2015 03:32 AM

here are some pics of my juvenile BRB.
Male: "Chita"
Female: "Babe"

im still trying to get a clear answer as to what sort of Patterns and markings my male has. he is super irregular and very light in color. he has long dorsal chains and his side markings are super broken up. he looks like he has Cheetah Spots and markings lol.

"Babe" is very pretty as well. she has light orange dorsal colors and lots of connected or "chains" on her. plus some of her side markings are very black and filled in.

any comments and thoughts as to what these two might produce when they breed??

the first three pics were of "Chita" the male.

these pics are of "Babe" the female.

thanks for the response.

i believe the female is around 6 months and the male is probably just shy of that so around 5 - 6 months.

on the male, more than dorsal chaining, his side crescents almost merge and join into the dorsal marks. he almost has no lines on his head as well. very little head stripping.

they both have went through one shed with me. they shed it clean off in one piece without my help at all. i just found each shed in the enclosure.

what color do you think the male will be when he is adult?

no unfortunately i didnt get to see the parents. i bought them from two different locations from the same company. (LLLReptile) i tried to get two that were from different litters. im just super anxious to see how they turn out. also, i cant wait to see what they produce when i breed them. any suggestions on what other morphs i should breed with the male??

i fully understand the responsibility of having babies and a litter. ive done lots of research thus far. i would be willing to reduce prices on normal babies.

i was thinking the same thing, to mate him with a aberrant female. still need one of those then lol.

thanks again for all the advice and your time. i hope to be a well known name in the BRB industry eventually.

thank you and keep up the good work with your breeding.
on a side note, im looking for a female that has a very aberrant pattern. i would like to take your advise and breed them together. i think ill be close to producing a striped pattern if my male carries the gene. if you or anyone else you know has a young female aby please let me know

SanDiegoBRB Jun 11, 2015 03:44 PM

just out of curiosity, is there any reason you dont work aberrant side patterns?

ive checked out and seen a few "aby" breeders.

thanks for all the time and advise.
