New amel emoryi and new rootbeer

I was fortunate enough that Paul (bighill reptiles) thought I might be interested in an amel emoryi and he had her delivered to the Red Deer show last week. I have been tempted by the amel emoryi in the past but am still undecided about whether to introduce them into my creamsicle projects - not sure if I want the confusion of non-allelic amel genes!!

She will make a great addition to the collection though - nice to have an example to show people the difference. She has a bit of an irregular saddle pattern with some broken saddles but still quite typical emoryi.

She has an almost completely clear belly too

Was also able to get this rootbeer male from Paul - he is from a creamsicle bred to a sunkissed so will be nice to introduce another hypo into the lines.

Both youngsters attacked their rats with vigor and are settling in great - will post some better pictures once they are established.

thanks for looking,

Sounds interesting. I'd love to see an animal homozygous for both the Emoryi amel gene and the corn amel gene.
 
Thanks for the kind comments. I really like this little amel emoryi - chowing down on rats already and very calm. I would also like to see what a homozygous amel emoryi and homozygous amel corn genes in combination would look like, but am concerned it would be too hard to sort out. I am considering breeding this girl into my corn line but have to find some that are known to not be het for amel - that will be a challenge!!
