These guys have neat story to them (at least I think so). My pied and het pied locked up once or twice near the end of 2011, along with my other bps who were locking. Then I moved at the end of the year and when I tried to resume breeding none of them were having any of it, including the sire and dam of this clutch. The move just jacked with their interest in breeding. So I just wrote this season off as being lost, and wasn't expecting anything.
Well lo and behold one day I'm cleaning cages and find 7 eggs under my pied girl! She hadn't been eating, but I chalked it up to just one of those "bp things." Since she had only locked twice, I wasn't expecting eggs so wasn't looking for any signs of her being gravid. Anyways, I couldn't believe I got 7 eggs from 2 locks! Unfortunately 4 of them went bad (first bp eggs I ever lost), but I still managed to hatch 1.1 pieds and 1.0 het pied. I'll be holding back the girl. Hatching pieds just never gets old!!
Holdback female
Male pied (I really really love this guy - wish I could hold him back!)
Male het - really nice looking colors, his dorsal black is unbroken from head to tail
