I have a purchasing problem! Haha

Meet our newest boy! No name yet. Thinking maybe Thor?!

Anyway, I went to our local pet shop the other day to look at hamsters with a friend of mine and noticed they had a new pinstripe in their reptile area. He was hiding so I didn't see him. Went back with my bf & friend yesterday to actually purchase her hamster & before we left, I took my bf to the reptiles to see if the pinstripe was out and about. Well, he was, and he most definitely was NOT a pinstripe.

Thought about it all last night and all day today until I caved this evening and picked him up. He popped male, has a clean vent, pits & mouth. No stuck pieces of shed & no mites from what I saw but I PaM'd his tub just incase.

Weighing at a whopping 97g, meet our gorgeous little G-STRIPE!

Very nice pick up

Good looking boy...love that clean belly. And 160 seems like a bargain to me. :gj:

Gorgeous new addition! Anyone else see unusual offerings at their local pet stores lately? Petco near me has an unsexed albino BP for a whopping $400.

Gorgeous congrats!!

Isn't gen stripe a recessive? I'm pretty sure gen stripe is a bit heftier than 160 lol.

Yeah I believe they are too but this place obviously had little knowledge of morphs because they sold him to me as a pinstripe.

Genetic Stripe is indeed a recessive. :3 Nice pick up. They go for $200-$300 from what I've seen.

I won't complain!! He still needs a name!

Awsome, very nice male =)
I just bought our G Stripe female in Germany for 100 EUR. That makes $137,50.
Our female is not so well striped, but her sis has just one fine stripe. And the sis also was sold for 100 EUR.

Same here, and the albino goes for $799 or something wild like that.

That's a really sweet looking Gen Stripe, though!! I'd say $160 is a steal!
