    With some of the more subtle codoms out there like fires/vanilla ect there is no reason why people shouldn't look harder at those "Great looking Normals"

    Right on, if you think it's something then prove it out. Your in a better position then any of us sitting here looking at just the pics. It's a whole different story when you can hold and get a detailed look at the animal as apposed to a few views from differing view points.

    Good luck!

    Cant argue with that ! lol

    It was more the point of the light spot , on head , that I was asking , being firmly ,lol , told it is a marker. I have a small bet on this ' discussion' with a mate. Guess I will have to prove it out , maybe one way , maybe the other ,next year lol.

    I still think its just a pretty normal myself , tho I wont complain if it is ,lol even if I end up 20 bucks lighter in the wallet . Thanks for the reply's peeps.

    I've got a couple normal girls that have those very light spots on their heads, but I've never heard anyone say they were any kind of marker.

    Sometimes it's not all about the money, if you are in this hobby for the money, then your in it for the wrong reason. Thats just my 2 cents. But other than that, it looks like a nice looking normal to me, my little girl has the same spot, it actually is starting to look like a playboy bunny a little bit. But I'll keep it at that:)

    Hey,

    Let me know if it turns out to be anything because the girl that bred for me last year has one too. :)

    And, just to be awkward, the biggest female has a black spot on her head.:weirdface

    Eh up,

    I honestly wasn't trying to be.:P

    I thought her kiddies had intresting patterns but stupidly only kept a female so I am going to breed him again to try and check for any oddities in my collection.:)

    This time I plan on keeping a male from each female as well if I can. :banana::banana:

    Can't help feeling I may have just jinxed meself there. **throws salt at a passing vicar**

    Ah yes the fabled rack - every detail has changed at least a dozen times as I think and double think every possible risk and option.:oops:

    Next time just hit me with a frying pan everytime I say "what if?...." as it stands I still haven't decided on lighting and possible individual power control for each heater/shelf. Gonna suck it and see as the saying goes.;)

    the picture before is almost the final basics except the 2 front facing panels down each side are running the wrong way ( I didn't explain it to well too my friend who drew it :rolleyes: ).

    http://www.satanswombat.pwp.blueyond...ts/render2.jpg

    But I now know how many sheets it will take and of what and even have the money sitting in my wallet as I type .....

    So tomorrow I pay it and get them to order the wood!!!! :gj::please::D

    It would have been today but they told me they would have to order the sizes I need regardless of colour so I decided cheesy 70's black ash contiboard was ma boy. :taz::rolleye2:

    They estimate a couple of days to get it in then they will cut it to size and deliver to the foot of my stair - one heart attack later I should have it in the flat and begin construction.

    It should be 145cm tall plus the wheels so ,being a shortarse, had to lose a shelf to avoid needing a ladder to see the top ones.:oops:

    And I agree that is a bit of a mouthfull - how about DHB (Dotty Headed Bint) ?

    She has recently went from shy feeder to rat, chick and mouse hoover and has locked up once but ignored him the next time.

    Hmm. Some of my females have the head "dot", and I've seen others with it too. I've never heard of it being a "marker" or anything. But I guess it can't hurt to try and prove it out. Who knows, it might turn out to be genetic and have a sweet super form!
