Some Glow Pictures from Last Year

LostNFound stated in another thread that he'd not seen many before and after glow pictures, so I thought I'd post a few of my girls from last year.

Last year was my first year breeding and I kept asking all my breeder friends "yeah, but will I "know" they're glowing?" and they all said "trust me, you can't miss it". I DID miss it on a light animal, but it was dramatic in the darker animals.

I can say this - at least with darker females - you'll KNOW when they glow!

More dramatic is Echo.

Feel free to add your Before and After glow pictures! I'm sure it will be helpful to new breeders to see how dramatic glows can be.

Very nice robin! Great patterns!:D

I love threads with lots of pictures:D

the pics of hannah are striking!

I had my first glow yesterday out of Antoinette (yay!!!), but no batteries in the camera. Will grab some on the way home and hope she is still radiating from her tub.

I agree, the darker girls show it more dramatically...

That's just SUHWEEET, Kat! Don't you wish they'd stay that way? LOL
