So, I take it that you have some "before and after" images to to help us see this "ugly duckling" transformation? I would love to see those if you are able to share them. :)

Andrew, you have one more orange than the one pictured??? :jawdrop:

I sure hope you have some luck with the Centralians -- try this method out on them! http://bluetongueskinks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10951

Outstanding colors on those orange northerns.... :shock:

Thats great news and good luck with the projects, do you think, that nature seems to make the males the better coloured/patterned, for breeding purposes, like with other species eg birds?
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

Hey Jason,

I have a little surprise. Remember that crazy orange male I haven't listed on my site? (I still have my secret stash of unlisted skinks) Well, I bred with Trinity. So now the cat is out of the bag. Who knows if they'll produce any. I'm not counting on it.

Ttys buddy,

Andrew

:shock: Well, that is more like a TIGER coming out of the bag! For me, anyway... :) I remember the first time I went to your site for...well, a few hours, when I first got obsessed...I just kept comparing all the sunsets and kept checking out Trinity...she just has something special for me! ;) That should be an AWESOME batch of babies if that works out! I will have my fingers crossed and my hopes up! A male BRIGHTER then Joey and the beautiful Trinity! WOW! :bugeyes: :hyper: :ohyes:

Hope you will keep us updated!

Thanks for all the input everyone!

Zach - Quite interesting. I've done that for fun but found the breeding season the best way for me to figure all that out.

Let me know how it works outside of breeding season.

Best regards,

Andrew
