sorry bout teasin ya..lol
did some diggin in old posts on other forums and got the goods here..
the citrus originally called sherbets were hatched in 2005 from breeding an het albino to a poss het.. out of the breeding they got a few different looking animals, albinos and hets.




i picked them up in tinley of 05 and bought 1.2 hets


raised them up, they kept that awesome speckling and tail patterning.


and then this season bred the male het to my albino tiger and produce 30sum eggs which i just cut open to find these.



some have some of the patterning.. well see once the emerge i guess.


and the first hopefully citrus tigers..


so that in a nutshell is the citrus deal. in 2010 i hope to breed citrus het to citrus het and get a viable clutch..

*Squeeeee!!!!* Thanks Sweety! They are beautiful, big congrats!

[Jordysdad]

gbo,
nice stuff. *grabby hands*
SOCAL needs some more monsters, send some of those beauties this way!! LOL!
Nice stuff, man.

[Samhain]

Congrats Gavin! looks like a nice clutch! I wanna see these when they come out and see how they differ from the clark strain in looks. Do you have pics of the orginal parents?

[gbo]

no i dont have pics of the originals.. and like i said they look like sunfiresque in patterning. i do have some of the tigers that look black and white speckling. i think its still a clark strain in a way though seeing as it is compatible..

Agreed...the difference can still be noted when sold though. There is something there IMO looking at those hets but what is the big question. Just like those kookey looking hets I produced. Something but what? LOL Hey think of it this way. Bob produced the Motley out of genetics from his own collection and we are seeing more and more stuff pop up from these diverse collections such as yours. I think many of the new morphs are going to start coming from within
CB colonies.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

	In My Opinon IMO = In My Opinion and IMHO = In My Honest Opinion

	Captive Born Captive Born

I'd say that looks more like a peach than something citrusish. Whatever fruit it is, it's amazing.
