I came across a suspected hooded Champagne in a batch of feeders I received a few weeks ago and liked the color of her so I decided to move her into my breeding program.
Here is what she looked like when she arrived:




Over the last few weeks I've noticed her hood color was getting lighter and lighter, to the point where now she looks like this:



I thought at first she had faded to white, but after taking a closer look I saw she had kept Champagne colored points at her nose and at the base of her tail.
Could it be possible she is a Himalayan and it just took awhile for it to express?
