Yup. On an Australian BTS group. I can probably tell you who owns it in just a second.

I agree Jason. Those all black and all white blue tongues are nice to look at but I do not like color morphs that are unnatural to the normal patterns and colorations of the species. I don't mind people trying to breed exceptionally colored animals to one another as long as they maintain normal patterns and the species is pure.

I think it is insane! I think the normals are prettier, but seeing something so out of the ordinary is always fascinating to me. I’m pretty sure one of Kim’s lines could be line bred to get a similar result. I will be perfectly happy producing the “normal”, i.e. perfect blotchies though.

I agree. I prefer the look of those with Kim and Jeff together with my own. I really hope blotchies are allowed to maintain their natural integrity without interference from the morph crowd.

I bought two babies from them which were supposed to be their premium ones, paid top dollar, received two inbred mungs that failed to thrive, one died the other I flogged off with a bunch of my other lowest quality babies. I have my own thoughts on the breeding that would have led to this individual animal.

Wow, incredible aberrant Blotchie! Of course if it's highly inbred, that's an issue, but on a purely overt "what it looks like" level, I think it's really cool.

No, just a mutation of a Blotched (Tiliqua nigrolutea).
