He said something about her being imported about 7 years ago but i thought he didn't know what he was talking about. Because she really don't look 7 years old. Well to me anyways. Someone else said she looks like a cinni. all the morphs are confusing lol. That why I have boas cut and dry no guessing most the time.

Hi,

I couldn't even venture a gues what she might be but I know for a fact I would be planning to breed to find out if it is genetic.

I'd be spoiled for choice to see what pops out but would probably breed her to a fire, a pastel and a lesser. One per year though so as not to confuse myself.

I wish you luck with her.

Agreed! Put me down for second to get a baby.

Although, I would put her with a normal. That way if she proves out for you, you can see what her offspring look like without influence from another morph.

Although, if it were genetic, all those morphs dr. del listed would make some hot combos. And, if that pattern proved to be another line of such morph, you could have some supers. Hello potential!!!

Right!!!

Hi,

That was my thinking exactly.

If it turned out to be related to vanilla or sulphur then breeding it to a fire should give some very obviously different offspring. And if it was a new line of blushed out fire then it would give BlkEL's.

Lesser should tell if it was a part of the BEL complex.

And pastels should just plain look stunning.

so breed it to a normal first? then a fire? Now I know what I have to do!

when does there breeding season start?

when does there breeding season start?

It's different for everyone. I started cooling in October, and started pairing in November. Some do it earlier, and others later.

I would take her somewhere to have her pop'ed/probed first. If it's a male, he's probably ready to breed anytime. If it's a female, I would get her up to 1500 - 2000 g's. But, she'll be ready probably by 1200. I just use higher standards to try and get a bigger clutch (not proven).

Judging by the age and the size from pics, I would say a male. Just a wild guess. But, honestly, I would hope for a male. That way you can pair him with multiple females.

How close are you to Edwardsville?
