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.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3b1cd37c18.jpg

Pretty pair! Great stripe on that amel.

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. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...60fe9c7eab.jpg

I'll try and get a better quality pic of the second pair to post later.

This is better, though Esperanza moved her head. She always moves her head, lol.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...947603ff19.jpg

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.
