Thanks guys! I'm loving this one!

That's insane! You have some interesting Jungles

This trait popped up in my Mack Snow Blizzard group in 2006... In 2008 I bred a gene carrying MS Blizzard to one of my best Bells which produced the first FJs het for Bell... The next year I bred one of the female offspring to a MS Bell... From them I hatched the first FJMS Bell and the first non MS FJ which was a Bell as well... Up until that first non MS FJ I had believed the trait was linked to Macks and could only be expressed while in the MS form...

In 2010 two of the females from the 2008 cross were bred to a Reverse Stripe Radar by my friend Britt Gougeon... I selected a male from one and a female from the other... They were the best offspring produced from the pairings so I knew I was going to hatch some killer babies!

Up until this point I had been fairly certain this was a dominant trait, but wanted to see what happened when crossed to proven stripe lines... Now that I've hatched several [4] babies from this pairing I'm confident to call my Funky Jungle line a dominant morph... One aspect that some may not favor is that these guys ''kill'' the regular striped pattern... I've never hatched a regular stripe from any FJ pairings... On the other hand, their tendency to have very bold markings and the fact that every one to hatch is different should negate them from being ''stripe killers''...

thats awsome..how much grams do your hachlings weigh when u use the GEO?

Have not weighed them, but they are no different in size than any other babies I've hatched...

Thanks Shawn!

This one will be the most interesting to watch I think... He should retain the pattern well unless he's carrying the dang Blizzard gene... I'm pretty sure the first non Bell FJ will be super clean like a high quality Bold Stripe as he's lacking the back leg spots... If this one follows suit oh crap he'll be smokin'...

This is my computer background... :D

Thanks man!

I'm glad to make you jealous! I was so jealous while watching you post lots of awesome babies as I waited for mine to hatch... Shawn too among some others... :p Besides my babies have to be awesome... I'm only breeding this pair in 2011 and it makes up for lacking in the quantity department... :main_yes:

Splendid! :main_thumbsup: You should call yourself Funky Jungle King. We already have a Stripe King, an Eclipse Queen, a Snow Queen, a Firewater King.... :D:main_yes:
