Leo Trio *DU FUN*

I was waiting til these little gems got a little bigger until I posted pictures. Here they are, all siblings, all eclipse eyed. I would have to say that I've hit the eclipse-eye trait jackpot.

Here's a normal (incubated for male) het LV albino/BB...

I plan on holding these back, and hopefully breeding the Eclipse eyes in to other morphs...I love the jet black eyes. :)

You are correct! Solid black eyes, no definition between iris and pupil. It was first emerged in the APTOR projects in 2004

Their typical pattern is a series of longitudinal rows of black spots or dashes with white feet, lips and nose with freckling while the body is yellow and often combined with a carrot-tail. Some ECLIPSE have greatly reduced body spotting. As of June 2005, there have been no jungle phase or banded phase ECLIPSE produced suggesting that there may be a genetic link or gene combination occurring between the eye color and pattern. Additionally, the thinking at this time, is that the ECLIPSE/RAPTOR is not related genetically to the Super Snows. However, many people think that crossing the ECLIPSE/RAPTOR with a Mack Super Snow will be an interesting experiment. I agree.
The new ECLIPSE mutation was crossed with the Tremper albino gene in order to make the R.A.P.T.O.R. morph. </SPAN>
