Yeah hes from the WC outcross lines. He told me one of the parents was 100% WC import. He said he was bringing some to the show. So must be it! He said it was a very small clutch.

Sweet! We have brothers!

Yay! It will be interesting to compare them!

Just got more lineage info from Nick. My het Granite male & the Granite female share the same sire.

For the het Granite male:
Dam: 50% ph Granite female [Grandsire: het male-Precision Reptiles X Granddam: WC female imported by Strictly Reptiles about 2007]
Sire:Granite (original Piet Nuyen line-Denmark)

For my Granite female:
Dam: het female (Paul Harris) [Grandsire: original line Granite X WC Granddam] Sire:Granite (original Piet Nuyen line-Denmark)

Those are really good names to see on the list... It's not IMO as it's a no Brainer....
That must leave you smiling having seen that

Oh my, so much so! I'm getting a third baby from Nick, a het Granite female, from 50% WC outcross lines, (the other two are 25% WC outcross). All three of these Granite gened babies are from separate lines, so that's an even bigger bonus!
This het female is one of three females in the clutch. One is likely sold, he's keeping one & I get one of them. He'll send pics in the near future. I get to pick her up at the October show.

*Angela, I think your boy is actually a sibling to this female I'm getting, if your boy is 50% WC outcross. My het Granite male & my Granite girl are both 25%.

Nick has 5 clutches of Granite/het Granite's this year, 4 of them have some sort of unrelated blood in them.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to work on these Granite projects down the road!!

I have a poss het Granite female from a local breeder, that might be big enough to breed next year, if my het Granite male is big enough by then as well.

My poss het Granite Jag female is in NC right now, growing up, & when she's ready (probably 2014) she'll be paired with one of two outstanding Granite males that my friend has. Hopefully, she'll prove out het Granite, & maybe get some Granite Jags.

I'll be posting lots of progression pics of these babies

Yeah, hes 50% WC outcross. Cool!!

Nick is great to deal with, he's got an insane amount of knowledge when it comes to Morelia, & he's really easy to work with!

Now, if I can get out of the October show with *just* my female het Granite, & not give in to any more, that will be a feat, for sure! LOL

I got the CP book at Daytona and Im just starting it. Its a big book! But should be fun/educational to read. I really enjoyed chatting with Nick too. I was very happy with the transaction. Now for it to cool down enough to ship.

How many carpets do you have now?

I got 'The Book'.... Nicks done a brilliant job...
And Heather that's a cool project ... Nice one.

Awesome! It's a great book! I need to remember to take mine to have Nick autograph one of these days.

Total (inluding those not in house at the moment) = 20
My poss het Granite IJ Jag is on loan to a friend, then there's the female I will be picking up from Nick, three babies that I'm waiting on shipping from Luke Snell (another fabulous IJ breeder), two of those babies are poss het Granite (I'm waiting on a couple females in one clutch to shed, so I can pick one out-I've already picked out the male from one clutch (got 2nd pick) & decided to add one of the ph male siblings to the female I'll be getting, & I've already picked him out. Once I pick out a female, & the weather cools a bit more, those three will ship.

I will be getting a JCP female from my friend who has my IJ Jag. I've been waiting for a female baby from this particular female of hers since last year. She didn't produce last year, & then psyched us out this year, & dropped eggs out of the blue. I'm waiting for babies to shed, & then figure out which once I can chose from. She knows I like stripey/wacky patterns, so I should get something pretty cool.


My focus has become the IJ's & JCP's, & I look forward to working with those projects.

Thanks Mike!
Yes, they did a fabulous job on the book! He's working on another book right now. I look forward to when it's published.

More of my Granite project IJ's.
I put dibs on a baby out of a beautiful IJ produced by Luke Snell (Morelia in Wonderland), a couple years ago. Well this year was the year. He paired him (Eddie) with a stunning female, K2. I got 2nd choice on a male, & went with the one that caught my eye the first time I saw the clutch. He has an almost jag pattern & he seems to have a yellow ground color, similar to his sire. He's 25% het Granite.
The other two are from the Patch X Kafka clutch, 50% het Granite.
I didn't chose them specifically for my future Granite projects, but it helps that they are possible hets.

I have two more babies planned. Another 100% het Granite baby from Nick Mutton (she's 50% WC outcrossed) & a Jungle female from my frined Julie.
The JCP I will get in the next few weeks. After a few more meals, or her second shed, whichever comes first.
I will pick up the het Granite female from Nick at NWCBE in October.

Yup, that first one is definitely my favorite!

Sorry that I missed this message a few months ago. I love, love, love my K2/Eddie male!!
He's one of my absolute favorites, & I really regret not picking up a female from that clutch. I have a request in for a female if
hat pairing gets some again.

Wow! He's looking great!! Mine are in that range as well. Some a little smaller, some (Aedh) bigger.
I picked up a 2013 Granite male from Nick last weekend. He's from the same parents asmy 2012 Granite female, so he's WC outcrossed.
I am SO excited for my future Granite projects!
I need to add more pics, I see.

I really want an Inland... I see you have FOUR! Covet!

Yep
I got my first pair from Nick, & loved them so much I had to get another pair!! They may even be my favorite over Granites. LOL
I'll post updated pics in the near future.
