This breeding was planned to establish whether my hypo female was het amel and to produce rootbeers that were het for hypo with the intention of using them to develop cinnamons (hypo A emoryi/corns) down the road. I waited intently hoping for creamsicles from this clutch, but actually had cinnamons emerge. One of the most exciting clutches I have ever hatched - I was so suprised because I had no indication from the person I bought the male creamsicle from that he could possibly carry hypo A.
The pair - quite the size discrepancy, she is not a small female and he is over 900 grams - hatched in 2001.
The hypo female - I like her color and regular saddle pattern
The creamsicle male - in looking at him now that I know he is het hypo, I wonder if the very reduced saddle borders he has are a reflection of that influence. This guy is one of my favorite corns - one of our foundation breeders - he is a permanent fixture here!
The offspring
Cinnamon from the second clutch
Cinnamons from the first clutch
and a rootbeer - I love this girl - no real need for her in my breeding plans but I doubt I will sell her - just like her attitude and coloring
will update this thread as the keepers from these mature - thanks for looking,
mary v.
