Blizzards

[trizzypballr]

My point is, probably 90% of people do agree that a blizzard can be line bred for color. People are complaining because midnights are more high priced. Once again I will compare them to tangerines. Apparently people feel that a dark blizzard is more wanted than a light blizzard, the same as tangerines, the more tangerine the blizzard, the more its worth. If a realy tang tangerine can be worth 300, why cant a realy dark blizzard?

The biggest problem with Midnights is that any Blizzards color change from white to grey to black and back to white. When my Blizzards are in the breeding season they are consistenly dark grey to black, but afterwards they lighten up quite abit. Someone could just get a pic of their Blizz while it's in a dark mood and pass it off as a Midnight. Then the person that paid $300 for it gets it home and its white the next day... What happened to my Midnight?!

It will be very hard to produce a PROVEN line of Blizzards that stay dark all the time...

I have only heard of 1 orange blizzard and I think that came from a Patty right 420? If they are proven then there should be proof and breeders wouldn't be looking for ways to make it genetic Bananna,MidnightxBananna,Midnight=Bananna,Midnight 100% every time if you can do that then thats proof.

High yellows, tangerines and hypos were in my opinion not the result of line breeding... They were more so the result of locality spacific traits that were in wild populations or actual subspecies to begin with that were combined or incorperated into eachother...

That i do agree with you maybe not hypo & tangerine but hi-yellow and normal with reduced spoted that aren't quite hypo i think is more to do with cross breeding of the leo speices in the old days.the abberant gene i think maybe also i've seen it on pretty much all the pure afganicus i've seen they are also very yellow so if it can be seen in wild stock i think high yellow aren't all that but tangerine is the work of man.

I won't know for sure until next year, but that's what I suspect.

I selectively bred blizzards for three generations for the whitest blizzards possible, With ill effects. The first two seasons I incubated at 85 degrees. The last season I incubated at 90. I got a vast array of white,grey, and very dark grey from all of the clutches at both temps. None of them were any whiter than the whitest of blizzards we see today.(excluding blazings of course) :main_laugh: The blizzards incubated at 90 degrees were spastic in nature compared to the ones incubated at 85. That was the only difference I saw. Sad to say, I have never hatched out anything close to a banana blizzard. I hatched a few with very minute amounts of yellow that faded in just a couple of weeks.
Any one have any different results??
