    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.

    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....

Looking for info on 'Gold Dust' Piebald

One of the reasons I am calling it 'pixel pied' is there is a gold dust which I think is mahogany mixed with something. This guy doesn't have a known secondary gene in him. I just suspect he has something 'new'. :). But I use air quotes on both since I have no prof yet that he isn't just a cool looking normal pied.

Nevermind. Gold blush is what I was thinking of. Too many similar names.

If I remember correctly, weren't mojave pieds called gold/en nuggets as well? In addition, now on WOBP "Gold Dust" is the combo name of suma spiders. BHB has no respect for the little guys' dinker projects, tsk tsk tsk... (jk). And that's not to be confused with the "Gold Dust Spider," which is allegedly a spider super black opal (which I have never heard of or seen).

While I'm normally against changing gene/line names (if only for maintaining provenance), calling these guys pixel pieds makes much more sense in my opinion - the name is unused, to my knowledge, and it actually describes what the animals look like. Plus OP has maintained provenance to the best of her ability, and the original (known) breeders have left the hobby, so they have no stake in the matter from a marketing standpoint.
