This was my second year breeding for my Orange Thing project, and I did have a reason for breeding the parents in the first placeMom is a normal, dad is a pastel. The first year I got an Orange Thing, this year I'm pretty sure I made an orange thing het and maybe an orange thing pastel! Time will tell I think.
Any who, I thought she looked really orange from the start then I started to second guess myself. I went to take new pictures of her since I had her up for sale, but she didn't look that good in her pictures, she looked dark/dirty. So I took new pictures of her tonight couldn't do any better and thought, holy crap!
So I went and put her with a pastel, had my flash turned way too low, but look at all that orange!
Turned up the flash, technically the bigger pastel female could be a 50% het orange thing if it is genetic
Added the Orange Thing on the left, the orange pastel has shed 4 times now
Added what I'm calling a het orange thing, the female normal on the right -she looks just like mom (belly pic at bottom)
Added a normal on the far right
Orange thing pastel(?) and het orange thing(?)
Het orange thing female with normal
Orange Thing wrapped around the normal
I have noticed is that they have tracks, this is the one I'm calling a het orange thing. Their blacks are jet black, their heads are really dark if not black, and their sides get really light/bright near the belly.
