Golden Child retics

[millertime89]

Saw Hedy didn't know what they were, so I figured I would share some pics that demonstrate why this is one of the most popular retic genes out there. Its a dominate dene with no super form as far as I'm aware. Its also a dwarf gene so it stays smaller (yay!)

Here's a "regular" goldenchild baby from Harry Wessels

Here's an albino goldenchild also from Harry

oh yeah, a regular GC is sitting somewhere between 1 and 3 thousand USD depending on who you get it from. Harry's WWKs were 15 thousand, they're expensive right now, but because they're a dom they produce more each year so hopefully the prices drop soon. I would love to add one to my collection, especially a platinum or graniteback GC.

[BarelyBreathing]

Oh my gosh, I think I need one. The first one and the leucistic are my favorites. I don't think I could choose between the two.

[millertime89]

you can pick up a nice albino GC for around 3k from Harry IIRC. The leucies are probably the most expensive since you have to first get a pair of platinum GCs, then breed them together and pray you get leucies.

[BarelyBreathing]

I don't like the albinos. I like either the leucies or the "normal" goldenchild.

[millertime89]

What? You don't like the nuclear orange?
I didn't remember which one I posted first.

[BarelyBreathing]

No, I didn't. I don't actually like most albino morphs of anything. There are few (boa constrictors, Pika, sand boas, some leopard geckos), but most I don't like.

[millertime89]

pretty sure this is the sunfire goldenchild from Prehistoric Pets

the lucy GC looks awsome! i love retics!! thx for the pics.

[BarelyBreathing]

That one I like.

[Norm66]

Wow, beautiful all around. Retics are one of the species that I honestly prefer the normals though. My dream is a normal male super dwarf with orange eyes. Yea, that's what I want.

[Trent]

Awesome pics!!!

[Strutter769]

Far and away the most incredible retics I've seen.

[hellosugaree]

I had no idea retics could be this wild. Stunning. ::drool::

you should see what else the other morphs can make!

A LOT of people, even the big retic breeders, still say its hard to beat a great looking normal

[stephanbakir]

Gota love GCs, I'll be getting mine in August, can't wait.

I should note that Calico in retics has not proved to be genetic, so it doesn't pass down but it does tend to create some interesting babies.

[BarelyBreathing]

Pictures, Stephan. Loads of pictures.

[MoreliAddict]

Okay sd retic is on the wish list. That dark granite one>>>>>>>>

How much $$ does one of those usually go for, anyone know?

[stephanbakir]

Not sure regarding pricing of SD gcs, I'll be getting either a gc female or gc het albino female, still trying to decide.
Pics will be uploaded when I get the animals.

get the het, platty gc albinos? YES PLEASE!

[stephanbakir]

Rofl, its on the list of things I wana make :P I'm kinda starting to want to make a non albino super tiger anery sunplatty, but that will take years :P

unfortunately... however I've seen recent claims that calico MIGHT be recessive, but doesn't show itself until the snake is 6ish years old or reaches a certain size/maturity level, which doesn't do anybody any favors with breeding.

A superdwarf goldenchild granite back would probably be knocking on the door of 4k, but I dunno for sure. I know SD GCs are running around 3k or more depending on who you get it from. But the GB gene is... weird. NERD and PP both have different takes on it.

I can only imagine. I really hope we start seeing aneries that don't brown out. Travis Kubes' anery tigers are just stunning, seeing them stay that grey would be awesome.
