Good trade for your money! I am partial to the Sunkissed and those two are gorgeous. Congrats!

 

[bribrian]

Very nice indeed.........

 

[Traci1]

I especially like your het lavender female!

 

[SnakeAround]

First one also looks okeetee and maimish?

I'm glad I didn't go there.... didn't have any money to spend and would have seen those beauties for sale :eek1:

Both?!?

 

[Roy Munson]

Both?!?

It does kind of look like an Okeetee head stuck on a Miami body. And it looks like it has pretty thick saddle borders. In jest, I sometimes refer to my thick-black-bordered Miami as a "Miameetee."


Anyway, nice pickups Snakexperience. I don't see enough sunkisseds, so I'll be looking forward to you posting pics on that pair's progress.

I would expect Miami hatchlings to have dark saddles with thick borders - leading to bright red adults with clear, black borders. But ok - we can declare carols Miamis to Okeetees that lack the orange background. :grin01:

Paradox Okeetees! Carol will make a fortune!

Wow , nice pictures . I think I know these cups and animals .
I think I even know the breeder (LOL ) . :santa:
I first thought one of the sunkisseds was the one on my avatar , but it is not .
Success with the animals and I'll be posting(on the hypo motleyghost tread) a picture from another cubed ghost I became yesterday on the Houten show .
:sidestep:

It looks like but it is not . It is a hatchling from a hetlavenderfemale x lavendermale ( so sure het for lavender ) . But it is better to have a nice het than an ugly one IMO .

 

[Preita]

I really like those sunkissed. Very pretty animals.

 

[SnakeAround]

Well, I do think Miami (phase) and Okeetee (phase) both are morphs only based at looks, I think you know that.... so if one gets a hatchling from 2 completely classic normals, looking like an Okeetee and Miami, it could be named likewise. Or do you mean yours are not localities? That was not what I meant to say.... I should have added 'phase' twice to be totally clear...

Tnx! Most of the credits go to Mvervest but thanks anyway
I suppose Sunkissed is still a bit rare here in Europe, but i can be wrong about that. There aren't many people who breed them yet, that's a fact.
I'll keep posting

I totally agree on that!! And she is a beauty!

The name is not only the look but also in the genes

Well, I do think Miami (phase) and Okeetee (phase) both are morphs only based at looks, I think you know that.

IMO Miami and Okeetee are morphs bases on their origin where they were first found . Maybe by putting "x-phase" you can indicate it is a look alike .
Sometimes it is a problem when people are using the same name when they even think it looks like some morph. When your animal looks like a butter it doesn't mean you have a amelcaramel , you understand . Sunday in Houten someone was looking to my bloodreds and said she had it also at home but they told her it was a normal ( bloods look like a normal when they are young) . I hope she not calling her normal a bloodred now , because then we might have some people with disillusions .
I never thought of naming a hetlav x lav to be a Miami .
Even for the okeetees , I find worth it to name an okeetee when they have the real black borders (that's also based on looks but also on origin )

 

[Menhir]

The thing that comes to my mind is that although Miami and Okeetee should have nice borders - tha background is the complete opposite. So - it seems somehow strange, that an animal looks like both "phases" or whatever you'd like to call it.
