Goldfinger project clutch 1

Wow, love the head pattern on those guys! Big congrats on furthering that project!

Really wicked looking balls there! Congrats on confusing yourself and us more! :D
Definitely something weird going on with that gene.

Great project! Have fun working on that and please keep us updated.

Was the mother a normal? or a Pastel or a het for goldfinger project?

Mom was a normal; you can read the background story at Evan's site.

My pastel sired the clutch, I had originally purchased him from Evan a few years ago and was contacted about doing a breeding loan after the first goldfingers hatched out. So this pairing was Mother (normal het GF) x Son (Pastel het GF)

Wow that blushed out one is sweet looking! :cool: The colors remind me of a caramel clown but ontop of a pastel pattern. Big time congrats! :banana:

Real, real, real, real, real:D nice clutch you got there!

Daniel

Congrats and I agree with most everyone when I say this project is confusing!

Good luck sorting out hets for future pairings and we demand more pictures!

Congrats guys can't wait to see those babies shed.

Thanks everyone! I have been so anxious this season to see what ends up popping out of those eggs, and I the result was just what I had hoped for.

I cant help but think of the old James Bond theme song from Goldfinger.

The reduced head pattern may be simple inheritance, it seems possible at this point.

We had another clutch from the line hatch this week from the original GF sire to a normal sib, and no goldfingers or head patterns. One more clutch to go, Lustro x GF line pastel. That should answer some questions...hopefully.

The pleasure was all mine, I loved having him around for a while, and I never doubted he had the goods!!

Whatever is going on...it sure is beautiful and exciting! Please don't forget to come back and share post-shed pics and growing-up pics! (As if Rich would let you forget! :D )

Thanks Judy, I will definitely be posting more shots soon. As for the head/neck pattern, no het clown that I know of. Both parents have somewhat reduced head/necks, but not to that extent, and it seems the babies have it or they don't.

This has made my favorite season yet, and there is still plenty left!
