Reaping The Rewards of A Successful Collaboration

[eyelids]

In 2007 I produced an extremely bold high contrast Bell... She was special and I knew she was meant for an important cross... I didn't have any worthy males for her so I sent her to Paul Allen to work into his Halloween Masks... Unfortunately the first year she didn't produce any offspring... The following season comes around and Paul asks if he can breed her to an Emerine het Bell he got from Kelli... I had seen these geckos so I was like heck yeah dude!

Last week I finally got to see the offspring I'd receive from the cross... :banana:

Here's the pics from Paul [permission to post granted]...

My holdback male...

Second female...

Paul's pic of their mom Haze... The first spot on her tail is so bold it looks black! :main_yes:

Something ironic about my holdback female, is aside from the head pattern she was what we were hoping for in the first cross [Haze x HM]... I'm so grateful for all the time Paul has put into these... Thanks again a million times over! :wings:

Thanks Shawn! One or all of the Bells could still get bold like mom... She didn't get super bold until after reaching 30 grams...

I really like the second Jungle Bell. He has a pretty neat pattern. It seems like to me that the orange is wanting to pop out soon on him.
