Baby T. q. gracilior

[jajeanpierre]

I am just so excited about a couple of these new babies--I noticed a couple seem to be very deep sea green rather than the more yellow based of the majority I have seen. Two babies seemed particularly deep blue green when I opened the box. I'll grow out the two and any others that look to be a dark blue green as I want to create a line of blue graciliors. The father is a stunning blue green while the mother is more of a chartreuse color. The last picture is of the father wearing his relaxed colors. Eat your heart out, Joel!

I am infatuated with YingLong! I'm going to give him another pep talk the next time I see him. He needs to keep the "blues" coming!

The babies look extraordinary. Can't wait to see them!

I think more space will settle that boy down, and more space is coming.

And if it does't, I have a friend who was the first person to do something with artificially inseminating some rare bird when he was a research fellow with the Zoological Society of London. I--can't remember the details, but it was some sort of big deal. He ended up getting his PhD in Avian Reproductive Physiology at Royal Veterinary College, University of London. Birds/reptiles--they have a lot of similarities. He might be able to help me figure something out.

Yes, he breeds Gyr falcons in Abu Dhabi. Their natural breeding grounds are the high Arctic.
