    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Got these two, and a second one that looks like the one on the left, with one more to come out of the egg.

David, are these a different set of dinkers from your super granite looking dinkers? I would love to see photos of the parents if these are from a different pair. Certainly seems like something exciting is happening there!
 
So this clutch is well over 7 months old now, two shed on the same day, so I decided to get a few pictures. I am convinced this is a new line of Splatter Ball, like the morph founded by Chris over in the UK. The Splatter Ball has unique genes, where you get a single gene animal, a Super, but also something somewhere in the middle. It also seems you cannot make a Super by breeding two single genes, but you need the middle gene, called a Yellow Splatter, to produce your Super. I did single gene to single gene, and think I got one single gene and three Yellow Types. The reduced patterned one is the female, the other is a male.

They do look very reminiscent of what I've seen of the splatter gene, and yes, I agree... the genetics of splatter seem pretty complicated. Hopefully in a few years you'll end up getting a super splatter! I've seen a photo of a suspected super splatter and it's an amazing looking animal. Fun stuff, good luck!
 
That's nice!! I like them, looks like something is there. Not too versed with the splatter balls but maybe I shall take a look.
