Simple pairing, but I am very excited for this one, as this is only my second season and my recessive girls are still growing up. OD YB Fire Pinstripe X Super Pastel.

That pinstripe looks really cool. I’d be excited too!

The male is a Black Pastel het albino and the female is a BEL I believe is Moj/Les Male is a Super cinnamon coral glow and the female is a normal I was given at a local pet shop. Hope she proves out to have another gene.

Most likely super lesser. That’s the whitest bel you can make I believe, and from this picture I don’t see any gray. Mojave bels have cool light gray color on the sides of the face/head area. I want to make a lesser bel eventuality for sure. Probably end up keeping it too if it’s a girl, just cuz they’re so dang pretty.

@tyspies your not going to be able to tell a difference between mojave lesser and super lesser. Super mojave does have a dark head. Blue eyed Lucy yellow out as the age. Super fire actually stays the whitest of the Lucy’s.

A bit late to the party, but I’m new here. This is kind of a simple one, but I’m excited to see the combos with het clown.
Sire is a Lesser Pewterbee Clown
Dame is a Pewter that seems to have many paradox offspring.
Sure is also paired with a Carmel Albino ghost (haven’t taken a pick yet) for triple hets that for some reason I’d love to see that combo.

@cn_wrngsdreptls my friend just sent me this the other day. Craziest ball I’ve ever seen.
Your triple het project could look like this without the Pied added obviously.

@cn_wrngsdreptls Have you bred your caramel glow before? Females are sub fertile no problems with males. But I believe you said the female was caramel.

Don’t think I can pick just one favorite, but here’s one I actually have a picture of right now:
Trojan x Bamboo
I’m not aware of any of these being made yet, so it’s fun not really knowing what the result is going to be!

Honestly I have not. I’ve read up a bit on this and have seen a lot of contradicting opinions/testimonies. I’ve read 0.1 visuals (1)ALL are sub fertile. (2) Only sub when bread to 1.0 visuals CAs. (3) shouldn’t be bread to even het males. Only used to make heys.
Also that only het to het is ok or 1.0 visual to het 0.1.
Also I’m not clear on No eggs, Slugs, kinking. It seems that even researching this gene has left me confused. I was hoping to stay positive and hope if sub fertility issues are the case I’m hoping egg related. If kinking proves to be the case she will probably be a countertop pet for people to view or one of the animals I show when I’m asked to show them to groups/schools whatever the case. She is awesome personality and visually. Just not in my interest to cull animals every year if it is a huge issue.
Should actually dig three some archive stuff on here and see if there’s a good thread.
Thanks again though!
I always want to be made aware of issues that I could have overlooked. A lot of these animals I try to take in when they are unwanted. Mistreated animals I will not bread and try to find a great home for, but rehomed animals I’ve not always done the research on and I always really should. And the more you ask questions the more I realize I need too. I pride myself in taking care of my animals, but knowledge of our pets/Breeders should be in high regard.
Anyway went on a rant there but it just got me thinking.

I honestly don’t know anyone who has that had a visual caramel lay. That being said I have heard of second stories of caramels laying. It’s a shame caramel glow is honestly one of my favorite combos!

Absolute stunners!
And I’ve definitely noticed a dramatic price drop so maybe there is something to that. Now I’m interested in going back through past sales on here and seeing if females have generally sold for less then males. That would probably be a solid statement in itself.

My first successful BP breeding was a male banana het G-Stripe x female Caramel G-Stripe. Out of about eight eggs, all were slugs but one. The one good egg hatched, but was a runt. Happen to get a male banana G-Stripe het Caramel outta that one egg. He’s more than made up for the slow start!
