Hello basketcase, from the little I know on scrubs the kinghorni comes in two main varients. The more common and distinctively patterned form with prominent dark patches, and the lighter washed out form, dare I say hypo :wink: The darker type is said to frequent the dense forests of the far north and east while the washed out form is more associated with the dryer "scrub" of the western interior of its range. I think the lighter form looks more like the PNG/Irian Jaya barnecks. I currently only have one baby scrub whose parents were one of each, although she's starting to lose her rusty colour, so it will be interesting to see how she'll turn out.
