2022 BrightHope pairings

I've got a number of pairings planned. This couple is the first to be simultaneously ready. It is his first season. Here are Baldr x Tulip. He's Caramel Ghost Stripe p/h Amel, she's Amel Stripe het Anery, Caramel. Goal: test his het, produce some good stripes, possibly some cubes. Tulip has produced beautiful cubes in the past, as has Baldr's sire.

Thank you! Tulip was one of my first corns in a 1.3 group from Kathy Love. She has been a sweetie since she arrived. Her babies have always been healthy and beautiful, and her calm, curious nature has made her a favorite for educational venues. This may be the last year I breed her, though. She's never had a problem (and usually double clutches whether I want her to or not) but I've held back a lot of her offspring over the years.

Second pairing: Artephius (UK diffused caramel het amel, motley OR stripe) x Esperanza (amber) He's a former Serpenco breeder whom I was thrilled to get when Rich decided to get out of breeding. She was a Serpenco subadult holdback marked "odd amber." They disengaged before I could get a pic, but at least it happened.

This is better, though Esperanza moved her head. She always moves her head, lol.

That diffused caramel is super unusual! In a good way!

I know, right?!? He's very metallic, like pewter and bronze, quite gorgeous in real life. I was totally in love with his morph/line when Rich started posting pics back in the day. He had several. I was absolutely delighted to be able to get one. And he's even got a great personality. [emoji1]

His pattern reminds me a little bit of a Brazilian Rainbow Boa!

It is sort of swirly like theirs, you're right. He's also been compared to a woma. He's a handsome fellow, at any rate. It's been a few years since I last paired him. Hoping that since he's still interested, he's still fertile. I guess we'll see. Fingers crossed.

Those sound like good pairings! I'm a sucker for stripes and the diffused one in the second pairing is unique.

Other pairings planned include:

- Odin (caramel ghost stripe het amel) x Aria (snow cube stripe 50% p/h caramel, hypo) It will be her first mating. Checking hets, expecting some cubes.

Also, Odin with Sunlight, (citrine het stripe).

Then there's Rubik (amel cube het caramel, hypo) x Princess Irene (classic het diffusion, amel, stripe, p/h anery, hypo). I debated pairing Artephius with Princess Irene but I don't want to stretch him too thin.

Also potentially pairing;

-Baldr (caramel ghost stripe p/h amel) seen with Tulip in first pairing, x Dazzler (amel cube stripe het anery, likely not het caramel). Not sure if I'm going to do this one simply because I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

- Allstar (red factor strawberry granite het amell x Victory (diffused caramel p/h amel, motley OR stripe). He's young yet, hatched 30 September 2020, and just over 100 g. But hey, he was interested when I tried putting them together. Didn't actually succeed yet, and he's blue now. I'll try again. If not, I'll try her with either Rubik or Artephius (her sire). Definitely want to get babies from Victory and someone this year.

Here's a change of plans, and an last who knows her mind. Victory shed and has a number of follicles. Allstar, my 2020 Strawberry Granite, was interested but remained clueless. She didn't appear particularly interested in him, so I thought maybe next year and put Victory with Odin. She was beyond uninterested in him, more into active avoidance. (Yes, I kept an eye on all prospective suitors at all times. No, nobody did anything dangerous. ) Third time was the charm, however. Whatever "it" is, Rubik apparently has it. The happy couple spent all of 5 minutes from introduction to lock. So my third pairing is Rubik (Amel Cube het Anery, Caramel, Hypo) X Victory (Diffused Caramel p/h Amel, Motley OR Stripe).

Love is in the air, it seems. And I have hoped of more Artephius babies! Bad lighting but I wanted to share my delight. This freshly shed and irresistible female is Princess Irene (het Amel, Stripe, Diffusion, p/h Anery, Caramel). She is a BrightHope product from Tulip X Erik the Red. This will be her first clutch.
