I'm stumped

[rabernet]

I would breed her to the yellowbelly out of your choices. You cant have enough of these to make combos with . But I think a het red would be my first pick

Leaning more toward the YB or the Tiger. Don't have a het red in my collection - YET!

That is a tough one Robin. Her best attributes are her pattern, which is killer looking, but like you said her color is dark. That rules out the Pastel for sure. The yellowbelly could be cool if it adds that Black back to the offspring. I am thinking further down the road when making Yellowbelly combos like a Pastel Yellowbelly might be really nice. The Mojave might work even though I personally like the lighter colored ones. A Black backed patterned Mojave could be great looking. Think Adams heavy patterned Cinnamons. I am not familiar with the Jolliff Tiger but if it looks like it sounds with a Tiger pattern then it might be the best match of all. Mixing patterns can really look tough.

Good luck with whichever you decide.

Albey, thanks for your input! This is my Jolliff Tiger (possible double het snow). And he's one of my favorite males all on his own! He's actually lighter than the pictures - smoking hot boy.





This is the potential of the Jolliff line Tiger:

Interestingly - the eye stripe widening and going up in the back of the head on the "normal" tiger is exactly what Zaphod has going on as well with his eye stripe (the "normal" head farthest to the left).

Mojave or Spider!!

and keep back all the females

Thanks Nick! I appreciate your input!

Robin,

I'm been producing some really smoking hot yellow bellies the last couple years from dark adult females. Heavy heavy checker board belly patterns and hot flames ... they're not the brightest yellow YB's in the world, but the intensity of their patterns and their contrasting darks are super hot in my opinion. I would go yellow belly on that girl and hope the black back is co-dom-ish ... it could make for a very cool odd ball YB baby or two.

Just some food for thought.

That's good to know, Adam! Do you have any picture examples you can post here or PM to me?

I vote YB


BTW - got a belly shot of that girl?

Thanks Tosha - I don't have a belly shot of her, and I want to say it's pretty un-remarkable, but she's deep in shed right now, when she sheds out, I'll try to remember to get one of it!
