Tinley park pickup: amel stripe! (plus baby pile)

[Silvergrin]

Well I wasn't set on buying anything but Kathy Love had the exact lady I was looking for!

Amel stripe, 66% het diffused, caramel

Also, my snow girl's second clutch hatched out; 25 babies! First feeding is tonight *crosses fingers*

Incidentally, is there any good method for telling amel stripes and fire stripes apart?

It's not too easy to tell which is which particularly if the fire stripes have poor-ish diffusion. Anyway amel stripes tend to be full orange with clearly orange heads where as fire stripes have white heads (orange markings and some orange freckles). And fire stripes should have some diffusion on their sides too. Also fire stripes turn more and more red with every shed, and after a couple of sheds they're quite reddish where amel stripes are still orange.

Not too easy.

Thanks everyone!

marinneli: thanks! I figure this one probably had fire sibs and was wondering how the heck you'd figure that out.

RobbiesCornField: *almost* all did. Only 2 hardcases out of 25, I won't complain. Usually the slow ones figure it out in a week or two ^-^
