Burgandy
I've noticed a lot of people have similar dinkers, so I wanted to ask this question:
Is anyone trying to prove the Burgandy Ball? Has a line been proven yet?
If you have them, post pics please!!! I'd love to see yours! :gj:

Re: Burgandy
We have 12 eggs from a w.c gravid burgundy female due to hatch in 2-3 weeks.
If they do not look like her we are putting a male back to his mom to try to prove the line.
They should prove to be genetic, as they are a locality animal, much like yellow bellies, ghost, pastels, lavender albino's, pieds, etc, all the ones every collected have been collected from the same area in the Country they are found. Benin for Lavenders, Ghana for pieds, etc.

Re: Burgandy
Here is my burgandy(ish) female and spider. The picture isn't great but her black areas are like charcol gray in color and she has a burgandy like wash to her color with no dark browns or yellows. You cant really see in the pic but she has the biggest heat pits I have ever seen. Can't wait to see what the babies look like:bow:

Re: Burgandy
I have 3 Unproven Burgundy Females...I got a clutch from one female a couple years ago and I'm growing up those hets...She hasn't fed real strong, so I haven't bred her son back yet...Maybe this year, she's taking off on AFS lately.
I also have a 100% DH Caramel Albino Burgundy (Unproven) male and 3 of his daughters...I tried breeding him to a Burgundy this year, but she's not going to go.
This girl is due to lay in the next couple weeks...She was bred by a CH Weird Striped Ball...Just Dinking.

Re: Burgandy
I got a clutch of eggs from a girl last year that looks similar to many burgandy BPs. Unfortunatley she died shortly after laying her eggs, but I did get some beautiful babies from her clutch and I kept my three favorites.
Here is a photo of her freshly shed.

This is a male normal holdback that I kept because he was very different from the other normals in the clutch and he has a lot of similarities to his mother.

This is an unusually dark and low white spider female from the clutch. Her sides also have a greenish hue that reminds me of the color of a green burm and her head marking are smudged almost like the cinni spider. I don't know if her look is a random thing or if the mothers genetics had some role in how she looks but either way she is a cool looking spider.

I also bred my pastel to the burg-ish female and instead of getting a dark animal like I did with the spider pairing, I produced the brightest and cleanest pastel that I have hatched out so far. This girl is not as blushed out as a super pastel, but her color rivals many that I have seen and at about 1000 grams she has held her color better than any pastel I have ever seen. Not to sound cliche but my camera really doesn't pick up how vivid her color looks.

I'd love to hear opinions on these BPs as well as other breeders experiences with working with burg-ish type animals.
