This thread got me off my bum and on to the camera 
Pictures of some I kept from last season
I chose this boy because of my initial holdbacks he was the palest. I'm planning to breed him with my pale girl this coming season (I think Baz/Sssssssssssnakeman posted a picture of her a few months ago).
I chose this girl because she was such a rich red. She wasn't a particularly dark baby, but she turned out the darkest of everything I held back. It's very difficult to catch the colours with a camera, but when you put her side by side with the others she looks very different. In comparison, the boy above looks pale yellow (more than you can tell from pictures!).
I didn't manage to get a picture of the most orange of my holdbacks... hopefully I'll get the camera going again soon. That one looks completely different again from the two above, sort of like this one (which is a close up of the one eating earlier in this thread, which is the mother)
Oh, and check this one out! I could hardly believe it when I saw it! This girl was in a litter from albino x albino and all the others were much lighter, as you'd expect. This one almost looked as dark as a regular baby! Well, when I actually put it next to hets you could she was heaps lighter :lol: I had to check the eyes to make sure she was actually albino. I'm really interested to see how she turns out, so I'll probably keep this one. She has had her first slough now and looks much much lighter. The darkest baby I'd produced before this season turned out the lightest of everything I've kept so far, so I'm curious to see if this baby grows into a similar cream-coloured adult or does something different. Still very early days and lots to learn with these things!
