09 0.1 Fire (SMR Rosyblood Line)

Just a few snapshots. I know it's a fire, I know her origin is in Don's rosyblood line. That's all I know :shrugs:

Anyone who has also one of this line???





 
Gorgeous! I sure hope she keeps that rich red color for you and doesn't "orange up" too much.
 
thanks hector, flo and benni!

I'm really looking for her colour change, keep your fingers crossed for a fire which lives up to her name ;)
 
She's gorgeous!!! I know she's going to change into an amazing adult, but it'd be so cool if some of them would just stay like they are, too!!
 
I believe Don's Rosy Bloods have proven out (or are about to be proven out) as carrying the Kastanie gene. That would explain the odd look of yoru Fire from that line. Albino Kistanie's (called Mandarin corns) are really sweet looking... I know you've posted pics of the Kastanie's before. Very cool looking animal! Congrats!

thanks lynnea, nanci and graham!

afaik it's not proven out yet! don got some kastanies and a mandarin last year from germany but the last step isn't done yet. that's my last information from don himself :shrugs:

nevertheless, I DO believe his rosybloods are in fact kastanie bloods, the similarities are conspicuous. this fire is "just" a regular fire, mandarins start white like a snow and get their colour after a few sheds. Frank Schaub suspects that there are somethink like "het-markers", of course no 100% sure markers but it seems that animals which are carrying the kastanie gene tend to more colorful ground colours. this theory might explain the odd ground colour of my fire. furthermore, the belly checkers seem to show some kind of "orange blushing" in het kastanie animals, but those theorys are just speculative and nothing more than conjectures :shrugs:

long story short...Don has to check it, and I hope he does it quick :D
 
errrrrrr....thanks benni, I think it's easier to try to speak their language than trying to coerce them to learn german :D :D :D

I need some clarification here. First off, beautiful animal, love the 'rosy' hue throughout, but, is rosyblood a name specific to Kastanie or is Upper Keys blood lumped into this term as well? Seems I've heard both bloodlines referred to as Rosy Bloods.

Thanks for the info on kastanie corns- great to know. I just picked up a pair of Don's Rosy Bloods recently- excited to be working with them.

BTW: Your English is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than my German and I have no problem understanding ya!

afaik: Don's rosybloods are upper key corns because they were collected on the keys, he paired them and "wow", some bloods popped out too! these bloods were called rosy bloods.

BUT

It seems that this animals not only carry the blood gene, but also another gene which pushes the orange tones. in germany, some people noticed that these rosybloods look MUCH like the german kastanies/chestnut corns.


so atm dons "rosybloods" are belived to be kastanie bloodreds (with key locality) and we all hope don solves the riddle this season :)

nice to hear that you have a pair to play with! and good to know that everyone is understanding me....anywise :D ;)
 
Wow! Astounding looking snake, pink and red! Keep us updated on her progress, OK? I will be very interested to see how her color develops with growth.

Actually, I thought that Don picked up the origional pair from a friend of his whom has either collected them or got them from someone else who had collected them from the Keys, these had a 'different' colouration but when bred to normal bloods just produced clutches of 'normal' bloodreds (so the orgional/s were homo blood). That may be wrong but I think it is correct from memory...

I have some normal Het. rosyblood ...s that should be breeding this year so it will be interesting to see if any 'kastanie' look alikes appear!

I may also be breeding a 'het rosyblood....' to a homo kastanie to help prove it out as well.

Very nice looking snake though! Congrats! :)
 
that's right, Don got the snakes from a friend and he bred them to a Bloodred from his stock... this is the story of Rosy Bloods ;)
