Dinker projects (pic heavy)

[Stark]

This girl was one of only a small batch of cf I received last year; all in a terrible state. Someone had imported a batch and couldn't get them to eat. In the end, this girl and one other where the only survivors. She was the smallest, at only 42g, so I kept her for compassionate reasons. The other was rehomed as a pet. It was only after her first shed I noticed the pink in her sides. She's growing slowly, sitting at 3/400g at the moment, so it'll be a while before we can prove anything out with this little girl. Nonetheless, we're hoping to prove out some similarity to/new line of the calico gene with her. Head spot, flames, clear belly, 'het pied'-like trams, yellow highlighting around the saddles, beginnings of a little ringer and the all important white, orange and black scales in the saddles that started out pink and fairly invisible. For now she follows the Hunter's Guide (NWE) to Calico's, so it'll be very exciting to see what comes out of her first clutch.

(These are terrible pictures, she's a very hard royal to photograph - she never stops moving)

These are a very special 1.1 pair of siblings that where captive bred in the UK but sired by a funky looking cf boy, so in effect these two are second generation. Because of this we know they've proved out genetic - we just need to know what they are. At the moment we think they could be along the enchi line, but we're looking for opinions. Also, suggestions on what to do with them? We're thinking of putting them together to try for a super form, but the male could potentially go to many females in his first season; so, suggestions on what to put him to would be appreciated.

Wow, all three are really interesting/good looking. Good luck with your future projects - keep the pics coming.

First looks like it could well be a low expression calico.

Second looks like a classic jungle.

First one does seem to have calico markings.

Second one...leopard?
