The Chimera is lovely, of course. Do they have any difficulty breeding? I know in some cases of chimerism in other species the offspring can have mixed sex organs that makes reproduction interesting (or impossible). I don't know of any actual chimera breeding projects, mostly because of the reproductive problems/rarity associated with chimerism, but my guess would be any offspring produced by this one would have the genetic makeup of either the pastel lesser or champagne, not both (or at least not in a single animal). However, I have no idea if any of the offspring would have the possibility of being chimera's themselves. About as genetic as the possibility of twins, except that chimeras are a good deal more rare than regular twins. Is it male or female?
I ramble. I really like the biological implications behind certain morphs and genes, so ignore me if I get carried away. All these babies are very pretty, I love how the lessers look when they're young, and the colors only get cooler as they mature.
