Second generation Calico offspring.....

In 2008 I produced two litters from my Calico Male Fluffy and two of my best colored females Savannah and Daisey. The plan was to work the Calico trait hoping to eventually produce more Calico BRB's. The backup plan was to have stunning holdacks even if the Calico trait never proved out.

In 2012 I produced a litter of Second generation babies from two of those 2008 offspring and wow, they look great as normals. Holding onto them all to see what happens as they mature.

The babies:



















If you have to hang onto a bunch of babies to see if a trait pops up when they mature, it's better to be hanging onto a group of stunners!!!

Nice rich colouring, I bet they are going to be insane when they mature! Great pictures as always

Please post some pics of the parents too, I'm also not familiar with the Calico trait.

This is ther Paternal Grandmather "Savannah":





And this is their Maternal and Paternal Grandfather "Fluffy" the Calico Rainbow Boa how he looked when he bred noth Daisey and Savannah in 2008 (pic taken 2008/01/24)


Within a year Fluffy went through yet another color change and looked like this (pic taken 2009/07/12)
