I'll be breeding a pale yellow female and a cream female to my cream/white male and hoping for pale babies.

I will also be pairing the parents of this beardie and hoping for something similar again:

I believe he was, yes - and it's exciting to see that more have been popping up around the country. He also had partially translucent skin but sadly we lost him before he fully matured. The parents, who I was lucky enough to purchase last year, have thrown similar babies in the past so I am hoping for more again this season.

Miss B, looks like you have a nice potential line going there.

I hope so! It's nice to have something interesting to work with.
 
Miss B in your opinion what do you think went wrong with the little leatherback?
 
No idea Kyro - he was a difficult feeder from the very beginning, wouldn't eat live food and was being syringe fed on mashed beardie pellets. He was also reluctant to bask (we wondered if it had something to do with his translucent skin). The vet (reptile specialist) initially felt that it was calcium related (he was receiving calcium supplementation). We made some changes to his diet and enclosure and eventually he was going really well, basking by himself and hunting down live food. Just as we thought everything was looking up, we lost him very unexpectedly. It was pretty sad, he was a real little character.
 
What a shame, he was a cute little thing. Hopefully things go better next time. I'll have my fingers crossed for you;)
 
the colour phases and leatherbacks that we see coming out of the states and europe.

would these be because they have a small gene pool to work from?? unlike us here

just a thought,as we are getting that way with the exotic bird species that are here
 
because Americans are lazy instead of long term breeding projects they do the massively colourful fast imbred lines that are all sufferering now.
 
people over seas are inbreeding there beardys to produce these colour lines and since many people dont agree with that in australia we are behind them. not just there small gene pool in the US a unusual baby is crossed back to the parents and then with similar siblings etc to quickly produce these lines. not all the limited gene pool but how they use the animals they have.
 
Took a pic of this little red phase female today,
She is from my Rick Walker girl, I reckon she will be a hot one :) Gotta love them Back legs!
Cheers
Adam
