Some Bold(ish) & Other 2011 Updates (big pics, DUW)

[lillith]

Well, I'm not going to post everybody all at once, but I wanted to give an update on my "almost bold" siblings and a few others.

Stellafleur

She's the one I wasn't sure to call bold or not in a bygone thread.

Agrumea

Manteau

Poignard

And these two:

Mercury

Retro

Next year's tangerine couple:

Pimienta

Paprikash

And here's some of my earthtone tangerines

And my bebe RAPTOR and eclipse clutchmates:
(I'm still thinking of names for them)

And my favorite this year, because he's so flippin' loveable squishable cute!

Very cool, I bet you can not wait to get them breeding.

I like the Earthtone Tangerines, I can definitely see a subtle darkness towards them. What's your ultimate goal with that project?

 

[lillith]

My desired end result is coppery, russety, suede-looking melanistic hypo tangerines. Sort of similar to some of the darkest blood hypos and the charcoal projects. I will probably incorporate some of both of those lines eventually. For now, I am trying to see what underlying colors I actually have, by bringing it more to the front. The second and third ones I think are my best so far, and I lean toward the third for color but the second for intensity. These are still unsexed juvis, so I don't know if I can pair those two yet.

Very cute Janece! Is Manteau a HM cross? The head patterning is developing very nice and bold. Retro is really cool looking as well! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chris!
No, I don't have any official Halloween Mask bloodlines in my geckos.

Manteau is my closest success of separating out the bold stripe from her bold stripe bell enigma grandsire. I think I should finally have the results next season. She and her sibs are 50% het bell, so I may get some pleasant surprises. I was surprised by the redstripe look I got in Poignard.

Great babies! I especially love the last three!

 

[fallen_angel]

They're all gorgeous :heart: I'm really loving how the earth tones are coming along!!

 

[lillith]

Thanks Jess!
I am excited about next season with them, I picked up an intense but darker Pacific Tangerine this year to outcross to. I can't wait to see where this project is in another season or two.

Kristi, I was wondering if you might like those last few.
I am very proud of them, thanks for noticing.
