Doing some cage cleaning the other day and snapped some pics of two of my special project boys. I will get to breed on of them back to mom this year to see what is going on.

Chewbacca, I finally got a picture that does an OK job of showing what a green tint he has to him. Chewbacca has a "fuzzy" looks to him, hince the name.

He wasn't terribly excited about the photo session

Both boys have this nice black belly

Jar Jar Binks. He is the sharper of the two.

Just so you can see why I think these two are special, here is a quick (and not so good pic) of Jar Jar with a normal western.

It is hard to resist a hoggie face. I have had people that are scared of even a pic of a snake, say they are cute.

Thanks. If they prove out I am going to call them Bengals. They have a very tigerish pattern.

Bengal sounds greate!
and Tiger is set for so manny line-breeding-stuff.

I´m not shure what will be the name for our pattern-morph, because there are so manny Jungels out there.

The arears right around your watermark have a very "shatter" look to them. Lots of moon shapes as well.

You know I'll be watching your progress on this project! Love those hoggies. AND the two I got from you are growing very well. I hardly put the food in with the second one and the first is almost done with hers and ready for seconds! Greedy little buggers.
