if you use a female for breeding only once (one breeding season only), would she be able to regain her maiden/prebreeding appearance?

All my females look pretty good at this point. I think the patternless stripes tend to accumulate new spots no matter what you do, but everybody else looks much like they did beforehand.

I think it depends on the morph and the lines. The vast majority of my breeder females look very good. It seems like the SHTCTB's can sometimes fade, lose carrot-tail, and develop head spotting.

Let's face it, there are very few females that can "regain her maiden/prebreeding appearance". It's more of a reality every time I look in the mirror! lol!

I had only bred a few females, and some did OK, but the one hit the worst was my LVPA. She used to be as brighter than a lemon (I have the pics to prove it), but she lost a LOT of color and is still that way now. She was only bred the one time.
