My latest in this craze called retics . . . I'm glad I have a freezer literally full of rodents / rabbits :-)

Scale count on head to confirm dwarf locale is dominant, helps me know what to prepare for!

Because Genetic Stripe was a mutation that originated in Dwarfs, it's ensuring that anytime you go with a GS you get some Dwarf Blood in the mix, so for those who are interested in Dwarf Retics, I'd highly recommend you look into Genetic Stripes. They go through a pretty neat color change that makes them simply stunning as an adult.

Last retic purchase will be here in the morning from Bob Clark :-) stay tuned.

Genetic Stripe is believed to have originated from Selayer localities. Love what some of the other morphs do when combined with GS. What's your take on the "Velvet" line? I see you have some of the "pied side" going on with this one, its the silver markings before the vent that have a tendency to disappear with age. Doesn't appear to be genetic, just some markings that some GS's have when they're little.

Selayer would make more sense actually as her tongue color is different than my Jampea :-) makes for even better comparisons!

Velvets are pretty sweet combos! I'm still not 100% I understand the genetics of it since some people call it the Tiger g-stripe and others call it the super tiger g-stripe (which is what I believe is a velvet). I've seen some adults who retained some of the silver on the sides, the color change is still amazing in the course of the first year. She's quite young, literally only 2 meals in. But once she gets settled we'll fix that for her and see if we can get a meal in her every 4 days for the next few weeks to help her get started

Very nice, hopefully your gs proves out.

Yep. . . thats the goal ultimately :-)
