Producing pewters

I've been trying to track down a pewter to buy ... which isn't proving easy in the UK.

I have managed to track down some possible hets though.

I can get 2 hatchlings (male and female obviously) produced from a pewter male and a snow female. The hatchlings are all anery with unusual venteral patterning. Thats the only description I have, no photos available at the moment but I imagine I could request them if that would help.

I can get the two for around £105 (approx $185 US) delivered, which isn't too bad given UK prices.

The seller says he couldn't accurately predict what breeding the pair would produce.

Would I get pewters out of it?
 
Be carefull. The Pewter "father" could very well be het. or homo Anery - that explains why bred to a Snow Anerys were produced. BUT - if you want Pewter, you need Charcoal and not Anery, so if you take 2 Anerys het. Charcoal, Bloodred - all the "Pewters" in the clutch will be AneryPewters and therefore more look like AneryBloodred than Pewter.
 
Thanks .... I think I get that.

Actually, this is all your fault! I saw the picture of the two pewters you posted up in the gallery a while back and have wanted one since! Beautiful morph ... I'd never even heard of that one before. Don't suppose you'd have any for sale you could ship from Germany? The two you posted in the gallery would do fine .... ;)

Very hard to find in the UK though.

What does an anery blood look like then? I take it the patterning will be more obvious than it is in a full-on pewter?

I only really want to buy these to hatchlings if I can be sure I'll be able to produce my own pewters a few years down the line. By the sound of it, that is by no means a certainty. :shrugs:
 
Anery bloodreds are going by the trade name of 'Granite' and are really lovely. The ones I've seen are very much like a pewter but look as if they have a hyopesque/ghost influence.
 
I hope that the 2 will produce even nicer babies next summer.
Sorry, I don't ship any animals...

An AneryBloodred can vary very strong. Daniel has some out of his Pewter-Line which could be homo Aner+Charcoal.

We'll add never ones in the gallery soon...
 
Thanks for the replies folks.

I think I'm going to give the two I've been offered a miss just now and hold out until an actual pewter turns up ...... whenever that may be.

I'd be devastated if I waited 3 years and then didn't manage to produce any pewters.

The search goes on .......
 
Yes, Pewter hatchlings are few & far between in the U.K.

I have been fortunate in producing a few in '05, however, a number are already 'ear marked' for Europe.

There is a possibility of 1.1 being available.

Here are a couple of photo's:


The male (left) is due to 'slough' & is, therefore, a little dark.

With regard to the Anery 'a' influence. It is probable that these animals are homozygous for this trait which is/may be an extra advantage.
 
Hi Alexandria

I think I found your website, and noted that you may have a few pewters for sale. However, your website also states that you operate on a collection only basis? I'd prefer to have them couriered as if I add on the amount of petrol my gas guzzler would need to get me there and back from Scotland, it makes them too expensive. :( (Unless they're dirt cheap in the first place - unlikely!)

Is there a possibility you could ship ?

Oh, and the two in the photos look very much like anery bloods? I was under the impression that the saddles were far less visible than that in pewters? I can see the obvious blood influence in the patterning but do the saddles fade more into the background colour as they age?
 
Wouldn't it be lovely if everything we wanted in life..........came on demand :rolleyes:

These are hatchlings, therefore, the Bloodred influence occurs over a number of years.

Please p.m. me as this forum is not the 'Sale/Wanted' area.
 
I'm not shure if I got you right - are you saying that these animals on the pics are pewters? I think you just have to take a look at the pupils to see that they are not. They may be homo Anery+Charcoal, but imho they are not pewters.
I thought AneryA masks Charcoal and therefore you won't get that silver look my animals got.
If you like the AneryBlood look, I think you may take these - if you like the pewter look, I wouldn't do.
