Thanks , yeah my grandmother passed away so I have been spending a lot of time with my grandfather and it's been hard to keep up on the forums with all this happening and working 12 hour days.i hope you guys are all doing well and having a wonderful season :) I'll post some more pictures sometime this week I hatched out a few lavender extreme emerines it's Ron trempers line of extreme emerines that I posted a bunch of pics of last season and I've been breeding them to this really beautiful female lavender Tremper albino 100% het raptor so I've been hatching out these extreme emerines with a bunch of lavender on them. I also hatched out a really pretty extreme emerine raptor from that pair because my extreme emerines are her raptor , she has a bunch of pretty colors and lavender on her. I'll post pics of her too but I want to wait and see if she keeps the colors

Sure , I bought a htctb it wasn't super hypo and it had a sort of jungle pattern. I bred that to a really nice shtctb from Ron Tremper that had an almost full carrot tail , and I bred a tangerine tornado to a jmg blood hypo. By the time these offspring got to breeding size I had purchased a shtctb from albey and about 4 or 5 years ago now and I bred that to a shtctb from Garrick Demeyer that had almost 100% carrot tail. I took the offspring from albey X Demeyer it had no pattern and I took the offspring from the tang tornado blood x jungle htctb Tremper shtctb and bred those together, I took the ones that showed no pattern and sold them and I kept all the jungle ones that had over 75% carrot tail and kept selectively breeding the nicest ones together for the last 3 seasons.. Now I have these beautiful tangs, they almost all have 75% or more carrot tail by the time they're 40 days old and awesome deep oranges with jungle patterns that don't fade out completely , and the tails are always brighter and more reddish colored than the body it makes for great contrast. I think shtctb that have the same color body and tail don't stand out as much. The tails came from the blood hypo female I used at the beginning , her offspring always have amazing red colored tails. Right now I have 1.3 breeders from this line .1 is possible het for Tremper albino I'll be making LGM sunglows with them hopefully next season if not I will have them for sure in 2 seasons.. I don't have any idea what they will look like but I imagine they will turn out nice... I'll also be starting a pair for sunglows raptors.... My goal is to make a raptor with 100% carrot tail.

Good luck with the raptors! I've had a few with 80%+ CT over the years (raptors and radars), but haven't gotten that 100% yet.
