It was a small litter of 5. I was hoping the SS gene would work in tandem with the aby’s tendancy to throw aberrencies, to produce thick stripes that would not be reduced by hypo. Additionally, the dam has exceptional color (she is 9 years this year), and the aby male has produced babies with excellent color in the past - color that stays, and doesn’t brown with age. This pairing will hopefully succeed on both fronts. I will be holding back the three stripes, and potentially the other hypo, to plug back into my SS projects down the road.
