    Very Dark Normal

    What to breed to a very dark (near black) normal?
    I was thinking about the lemon, but it might darken down the yellow instead of amping up the yellow/black contrast. I've got the lemon, a pastel het hypo, a lesser and a mojo.
    I'm already breeding a spider to the lemon and also a mojo female to the lesser.
    Any guidance?

    IDK the lesser might be cool. There's nothing (in my book) like a nice melanistic lesser lol. But who knows maybe it would just help to heighten the contrast. You never know til you try .

    I asked a similar question about my blackback female who is darker and I'm going to breeding her to my YB this season. Also black would go well with albino - more contrast.

    Re: Very Dark Normal

    I think black pastel, mojo, albino would be good too!! Stay away from lighter animals like pastels, lessers, fires and enchis... those high yellows would be muddied I think.

    My goblins(RDR YB) are from a very dark female. They have gotten darker over the past month. I am updating pics Fri. and will post pics of mom and the goblins to give you an idea.
