Thats probably yeaaaars away. But thats the fun of a new morph... you have it and will most likely be the only one for years while you establish the line etc.

They are feeding ok, take a little longer and require a little more patience with feeding. The temperatures are slightly lower and they require a little more humidity than normal beardies.

Sorry no new photos, very similar to the other photos. They are marginally bigger and growing slowly, so far so good.

I personally wouldnt be selling them at all, i'd keep them for further breeding and so on.
If not it's my birthday in one month 5days haha

So they 'appear' to be 'Silkbacks', but they didn't come from 'Leatherbacks' (i.e. hets), but they are scaleless??

That is correct, the original silkback which was originally bred in Italy, was produced the same way.

So the silkback came before the leatherback in Italy and the letherback is the codom het and the silkback is the homo super?

I saw this off the US Sandfire Ranch site,

'Due to the absence of scales, they [silkbacks] are less protected during rough breeding and are more prone to injury. They also seem to have difficulty shedding (dysecdysis) and may be more susceptible to ultraviolet light and heat. The real interest with this unique mutation is what will happen when it is bred with other forms?'

Not a lot to update other than they are growing at a very slow rate, but they are growing which is positive.
