Ole' Stoic Viper...
I always wondered what would happen if you mixed these ingrediants together..

Miami Blood....what an interesting combo! Never thought of that before. :D

That miami male is stunning!!! I love his colours and perfect pattern. I'm curious to see the pippies... ;)
 
I see these beautiful silvery sided animals with blazing red saddles..

BUT... Reality tells me, the off spring are probably going to look like just a normal with some possible blood het markers.. *humph* I got a feeling, these are not going to meet my expectations..

Yes I'm quite sure the F1 will be more or less regular normals. Although It's interesting to see whether they'll show more het. bloodred OR miami influence in their phenotype.

Yet again in the worst case breeding F1 + F1 might only result to poor bloodreds as the miami reduces red tones in the background. I believe creating a true miami bloodred takes more than a few generations, because every "outcrossing" to a bloodred takes you a step backwards concerning the miami appearance. And getting the true grey miami background back might be difficult.

If I was to work with this kind of a project I'd do several Miami + Blood breedings to get more "het. blood, miamis" (I know it's wrong to put it like that, but still I did it) which aren't related. Then I'd have more options on breeding F1 to F1 and furthermore their offspring with eachother. Because I believe that breeding F1 back to miami will only get you further away from bloodred and vice versa...

But who knows how it goes! At least Miami Blood is worth the effort! ;)
 
Don't get too pessimistic, Tim. My sunkissed from okeetee lines threw some okeetee looking babies last season! You never know what you're gonna get
 
Cool

I thought the same about miami lavenders and planned to sell them wholesale when they hatched. I think they will be cool,the babys will look like miamis.!
 
I try not to be a pessimist, just try not to put my head into the clouds expecting what I want, as opposed to the likely hood of whats going to be dealt! *lol* If I get something different, then cool.. If not, I won't be out to terrible much...

You never know, a few of my het Cinder Bloods are turning out to have very nice Miami colorations, and some are not. It depends on what's in your cards this year.
 
Yeah Carol..

Its a pretty well a coin toss..

I think Miami bloods would actually be sweet if you could get the saddles blazing red and have the silvery miami backround diffuse it may be a real knockout a few years down the road.
 
Terrific project! I sure hope you get lucky as I think the ideal results will look terrific! Your first problem, however, is that you chose a terrific bloodred instead of a lousy one with lighter, more Miami-ish ground color. But the male is SUPER!
 
Well Susan, that blood came from a project you and Jr did a few years ago, if I am not mistaken..

Hehehehe.. I do have an ugly blood and female Miami .. Unfortunantly the female girl won't be ready to go for a few years..


I gotta say, I might only keep 1.1 or 1.2 from this.. Thbe rest will have to go, depending one how many eggs are layed, and how many actually hatch..

There ya go! Starting off with an error like that! You're doomed from the start!

Well, there is a glimmer of hope as my male wasn't the best bloodred (the babies got all their good looks from Mom). I have the "ugly ducking" from that pairing so I know the potential is there for you to do well in this project.
 
Good luck, with the breeding of this beautiful pair, Tim!

I had thought about a Miami Blood project and what the end result could turn out to be like (after some generations and obtaining the perfect Miami phase coloring).
However, that had to be placed on the "backburner" due to other planned projects.
If you keep up with it, I will just have to follow your progress.:)
 
There is a possibility of anery being involved with the blood, and maybe even amel.. The male i am unsure of what his possible hets are.. He could be het amel or anery, the odds are pretty good IMHO.. Maybe some candy canes showing up? I don't know..
