What happened?

[leopardgecko95]

:main_huh: Wasn't Tremper supposed to let people buy the Diablo Blanco? I haven't heard much about it latley... Has anyone bought one? hm...

 

[marula]

...i think the best dea if you have 1500$ is buy an enigma...not a diablo blanco...

 

[leopardgecko95]

Good point. I just now looked on tremper's site and it said that they werent going to be for sale until May of 07..... also I thought it was kindof dumb of him that on one of FAQ he said that these were the genetics behind the Diablo DIABLO BLANCO FAQ

Q) What are the genetics behind the Diablo Blanco?

A) The “White Devil” is the result of crossing very white Tremper Albino Blazing Blizzard (BB) females with our best Raptor male and breeding those double het offspring together. It is not the result of crossing a pure BB with a pure BB and accidentally getting a variant of that morph with all red eyes.

couldnt someone just steal the "recipe" and make their own?

Yes, and no doubt many people are doing just that.

Out of all the good things he has done, this has got to be the dumbest yet..but im at school right now so i gotta get off of here....

 

[GeckoMandi]

I agree I want an enigma!!

 

[MichaelJ]

i want an enigma and that recipe will be out like those cookies from Nemon Markus a couple of years back.. I might even try it myself just to see what happens..

 

[leopardgecko95]

Yeah, if u have the leos, then there is no harm done! Its not like u could get arrested cause its not like government property...

Well, there were only two possibilities for the genetics behind the Diablo Blanco:

Eclipsed blazing blizzard
Patternless albino mack super snow

Im sure releasing the genetics was actually part of the marketing plan hes using to keep himself in the limelight. Basically it was his way of showing that there is more to be done with the Raptor project than just tangerines. And when someone buys a DB from him, they are getting an eclipsed blazing blizzard that can produce APTORs, RAPTORS, RERS, Jungle albino eclipse, carrot heads, tangerines, carrot tails, and stripes depending on what one breeds a DB to. So for the $1500 price tag you are getting a huge genetic package which can be used to produce an enormous amount of variable morphs. And, not only that, they look pretty cool too. So letting the genetics out will most likely raise sales than hinder them. And for the first year or so most people will buy from RT because his "best RAPTOR" was the main ingredient. Just like he uses the name Moose to promote giant sales (this one is Moose's son/neice/nephew/daughter/granddaughter/etc).

Im pretty sure that even though PA super snows will look the same, they wont have the same price tag as a DB in the long run.

either that or he isnt telling quite all of the genetics of these animals

And what about his emeralds?? I heard about them 6 month ago and nothing more...

/L

 

[Poohmac]

Does anyone have any updated information about Diablo Blanco?

 

[okapi]

RT has stated that what he provided on his Diablo FAQ page from spetember 06 is all that will be let out until public sales start in may of 07. Check his site in two months if you want updates....

The emeralds will probably be in 2008. But then thats just my personal guess. RT likes to keep people in the dark.
