New and up and coming

It's interesting to see what projects some people are working on.

Things that I would have never considered doing in terms of combinations keep popping up with really interesting results.

Especially with the less popular things, such as the Spotnose, Vanilla or the Sable. Things that most hobbiests do not really take seriously have come out with amazing combinations!

I am floored by the amount of morph combinations that can be done, much less that of what has already been achieved, and what they look like.

I know also that there are plenty of morphs that have been produced once or twice that I have yet to see myself... The forums are a great tool, but there are many other things happening behind the scenes that people may not be aware of.

Shows help expose things like that, but of course, there are still those other breeders that don't do shows, don't do forums or internet things, and manage to produce amazing animals.

But of course, there are those that do, and the things that come out of the woodwork is very interesting to say the least.

And it does stoke the coals for people to do the same projects as well.

Case in point: The Axanthic Killerbee.

This morph was produced by NERD several years ago and when it did, everyone loved it. I know many many breeders, including myself, that are working to produce their own Axanthic Killerbee.

Now what I want to know is, what is the next big amazing project to be done? What inflames the masses to want to produce a specific morph and therefore assist the market in the production of said morph?

I would love to know.

But of course this is based upon people going on the forums, sharing their projects and so forth and so on...

It's an interesting situation really.

I know many people trying for the Vanilla Creme (Vanilla x Fire), the Killer Queenbee (Pastel x Pastel x Lesser x Spider), the Super Stripe (Spector x Yellowbelly), the Pastel Calider (Pastel x Spider x Calico) and many other really amazing morphs that once you take a look at them you go "WOW".

So again, what is the WOW morph now a days? What do you think will be the next WOW?

I'm intrigued and looking forward to those morphs to pop their heads out soon.

What do you think?

Have a great day, my friends!

Yellowbellies and a Special Surprise

There have been times where I see Yellowbellies out there and I think, Wow, that looks really nice!

And then I think, well, they kinda look like something Special.

And then I got the idea to take some pictures. This is my youngest Yellowbelly female, and she is beautiful in her own right. Nice and golden, with awesome flames up the sides, and a nice reduced pattern.

But in comparison to the Special, there is a significant visual difference to the trained eye.

Brighter colors in the Special, more busy type of pattern, and overall more eye catching compared to the Yellowbelly. 

Now, a Yellowbelly does not have a Yellowbelly. It just has side lines that tend to be mottled and off color, and can be considered yellow to some. 

So with that being said, let us compare bellies, shall we?

Can you tell which is which? 

The one on the left is the Yellowbelly, the one on the right is a Special. 

WOWEE!! Seems like they are somewhat similar, no?

Yes. They are somewhat similar. 

So it is really one of those odd ball morphs that is subtle. 

Hopefully I have helped some of you out there who are looking for that Special in your collection. 

Some say they look like Vanillas. Some say they look like Yellowbellies. Some, kinda like Fires.

To me, they look like Specials.

I know that isn't what you really wanted to hear, but... It's tough to describe. Hopefully it was enough for now.

Have a fantastic day, my friends.
