Sneak peek! 2010 WC Male PROVED OUT!

Who said dinkers dont prove?! I bought a wc baby at an expo back in 2010 that I picked out of a bin of about 50 others right when the bags were dumped. There was a lot of buzz going on between a couple BIG breeders about what it could be. So before they could buy it, I snatched it up. Long story short, even though he's had plenty of size on him, this was the first season I was able to get a clutch from him. I got 9 beautiful eggs from him bred to a normal. They just hatched and 8 of those babies came out looking like dad! First pic is the sire as a big baby. Second pic is one of the new offspring next to the only normal in the clutch. I am going to put him on a fire female next season to rule out that as a possible new line of fire. Should be exciting to see what comes of this and I will post more pics once they shed.

Did he pair up with any other girls this season?

No, this is all I will have from him until next season.

Very nice! What's his belly look like? Clean? He looks almost specter-ish. I would also put him to a YB female.

Super clean, almost clear bellies. I have thought about a yb female also for next season.

Well grow up one of the little girls Find the super!

Nice male and a great clutch.

Awesome!

Thanks guys...I've got 5 females in this clutch so it will be another long wait raising them and eventually breeding them back.

Neat! Cover all your basic bases. If possible go yb, fire, pastel, lesser, mojave and see what happens...

How many females are you gona have ready for him

I'd try vanilla, fire, and YB, and keep it to that for a season, but that's just me... I'd keep it to that while I wait for females to grow up.

They look AWESOME! Congrats!

If it's compatible with fire, but not fire, you could call it the marshmallow gene. Then I could put my hot chocolate (fire chocolate) to a marshmallow, and have hot chocolate with marshmallows, lol.

this exactly.

check the gene complexes. to cover the gene complexes, you need YB, fire, lesser, and cinnamon or black pastel. since the leopard/pied thing turned out to not be a complex, and because i think this wont have anything to do with the albino candy/toffee complex, these 4 basically cover it.

then check for a super form.

also make sure that its not something already known under a different name or something. keep your eyes open.

make sure to breed it to enchi because everything gets better with enchi :D and dont forget to have fun :D

I think "smores" sounds way cooler for a chocolate x fire x marshmallow

Here is a quick update on this project. I bred the original male to a fire female this past season and got no super fires out of 8 eggs so that was nice to get that out of the way. Here is a pic of my holdback pair from 07/2014:

Yellow belly... I'm telling ya... do it...!!!

@bcr229 Well, I did it. Oh wait. I'm not Adam105, but I bought the 1.4 group he had available. And took your comment to heart, so I was really glad when I had a YB female available this year to bred the male too.

She gave me 10 big eggs. Unfortunately nothing looks allelic. There are some individuals in the clutch that I cannot explain. I was hoping to do a photo shoot last night but ended up at Instacare instead.

For now all I have is this teaser, soon pictures. :D

Can't wait to see what you got. Hope Instacare went well...

Ok, here are some pre-shed pics:
