Both supers are doing very well. They are just a little smaller than the other females their age. I am hoping to try breeding them next season.Quote:

Yes, Colombian and Central American super motleys (which is what mine are) both have genetic issues. All Colombian super motleys die at around two years old. This does not seem to be the case with CA super motleys. Mine are around 3.5 years old now, and are doing fine. They do not produce the muscles in their necks correctly, which is why their heads look weird. They do act a little strange, but are healthy and eating well. They do not strike as well as non-super motleys, and often miss on the first shot. The oldest CA super motleys that I know of were produced in 2006, and from my understanding are still living. Some people have said that they will not be able to breed, but I have never actually heard of anyone trying to breed them. I am hopefully going to attempt to breed mine next season.Quote:
