I saw the pictures yesterday, but today they are all gone! Even the one in your post, Zach! There's just empty, white space. WEIRD! :shock:

I was wondering about that. I never saw any pics so I just assumed that Zach was being mean to Tiger to see how gullible she was ;)

The pattern does look Northern. I really think it's a mix of some kind..

Hmmmm, maybe Zach but I doubt it really, I know of only three people with in 50~Mi that work with Blueys, two of them Northerns, and one Easterns and Northerns, and 1 Indo and IJ. The petshop that gave him to me (I work at, they release sick animals to good workers which is very rare.) only orders from local people, the farthest they have ordered from was a guy in Melbourne about 50-60~Mi from here. Both of the breeders that work with Northerns/Easterns I know personally and they don't do crossings, I could ask them both if they sold to the shop recently and ask them if it looks to one of their animals. Would there be any scale difference in Northerns and Easterns I could check?

Well, the thing is, Easterns & Northerns are pretty diverse and easy to differentiate. Just the fact that the voting is half and half tells you something!

And Edward just pointed something out to me, INTERGRADE is the correct term, not hybrid. :doh:
