Another member and i have decided to give this pairing ago again. the female was a bit small last year and we were a bit late in the season, but this year shes more then big enough and we've started nice and early. Should be some exciting bubs produced from this pair. the male is a proven breeder and has already produces some cracker bubs with a relatively normal eastern female, so this pairing should have alot of potential.
Keep and eye on this space and we will hopefully have some updated photos for you at the end of the year.

Hi Helikaon,
I have all my blacks together also. They are usually born mid October, they are out of season by beginning of September

Hi pisces thats pretty cool that the blacks go early to. I have someone who wants to do some swaps with me with some blacks so i will be excited to finally have a few to work with myself.

Very nice Easterns - they are so so similar to a couple of my hypo Irian Jayas. I'll try and get some pics for a comparison. Should make some lovely babies.
Mark.

this is one of the white boys baby's from last season when he was crossed with a female who is pretty normal but definitely lighter then your average. so its about 6 months old now and looking very white for its age.. a good sign i think.
