Yeah, these are not from me. I am assuming they are from Jeff Risher of Hall of Fame Reptiles. That is where I got much of my founding stock. In my experience they have not been the easiest to get to thrive. When I did vanishing pattern to vanishing pattern my offspring were weak and were a major pain to keep going...much like the original lavas. But, outcross them and the F1's thrive very well...again...much like the original lavas. Perhaps my problem was I got in very early and got some of the closely related stock? :shrugs: I don't know.
However, that being said, I have managed to outcross them to many of the other color morphs. This next year should prove for me whether the vanishing pattern look can be outcrossed and then recovered. Here is a few I produced this year and one of my adult anery vanishing pattern animals.
