I had guessed almost right, I’m a huge fan of dark stuff, that’s about 90% of my collection. You can definitely see the cinny, sandblast and BP at work here and her being het. pied wouldn’t be unrealistic either. Congrats on her! She’ll be interesting to prove out that’s for sure.

Updated holdback list!

The butter mystic girl I posted before is doing great, besides the boo-boo on her head. She pounds f/t adult mice with no hesitation and is nice and chunky.

The middle and right one are two other female holdbacks. The male on the left is being sold to a family member so I guess he’s technically a holdback of sorts too :joy:

1.0 butter bee (left)
0.1 pewter bee (middle)
0.1 pastel butter spinner (right)

Our last clutch didn’t yield anything that I wanted to keep as a holdback, so they’ll all be listed for sale.

@westridge the first one pictured the gx paint has to be one of the nicest Kenyans I’ve ever seen! Super super nice! Keep up the good work!

He was a big surprise, since we didn’t know his parents were het for GX. We’re hoping he keeps his pink color.

That reduced pattern male cal flame is impressive! Was he line bred for a reduced pattern or is there anything else going on in him?

He was line bred for reduced pattern and improved color. He is a pure locality animal who is not expressing any morph genes and is not het for anything.

Here’s a few more. This enchi female is het for pied and VPI axanthic.

This guy is just a leopard poss het pied. He, his mom, and his grandma have a weirdly busy looking pattern, so I’m holding him back in hopes of figuring out what’s going on with them.

Thanks!
Dad is one of our favorite males. Dad is GH HRA Pastave and that baby was out of his first sired clutch ever so I’m excited for future combos with him where the female has more to contribute!

We had a very small year with only 2 clutches. This was our first breeding season just getting back to it after a few years off. Here are a couple of my favs from 2020
