Hypo
Hypomelanism
in BRB's has been proven through breeding trials to be a
recessive trait. The animals are very noticeably lighter in
color and the typical black areas are light to chocolate brown
in color. The original hypos were produced in 1994 from a pair
of siblings that were bred together and subsequently sold to
EBV. My Hypo's are directly related to the origin of the EBV
line of hypomelanistic BRB's. I am currently working on
producing several lines of mostly unrelated animals.
"Mostly unrelated" since ALL EBV line hypos are
directly descended from two original sibling animals. I have
plans to produce eight partially related heterozygous lines
from several different hypos and eight totally unrelated
normals. These eight lines will be crossed with each other to
produce four distinct unrelated lines of Hypomelanistic BRB's. |

Het Hypo
Normal looking BRB's that have one
hypomelanistic gene and when bred to another BRB with the same
gene will produce some hypo babies.

High
Orange
BRB's specifically bred for the brightest of orange
colors.
|
 |
High Red
Similar to High Orange but bred for
bright red colors.

Bull's
Eye
A pattern morph where the side crescent patterns are so
exaggerated they will sometimes form complete circles. These
are still in development and at this time have some side
patterns complete. My current first generation breeding trials
show this trait is most likely polygenic or not specifically
tied to one gene but is definitely passed on from parent to
offspring in a varying degree. The babies range from less
crescent to much more crescent. As I breed this trait through
the next few generations I expect this to continue where the
babies are plus and minus the parents. As the parents approach
fuller Bull's Eyes, the babies should get better and better.
Future plans include breeding this pattern morph into all of
my color lines

Normal
As if that can be said for a BRB, they all show amazing
colors and patterns along with the rainbow iridescence that is
typical to the species. All my breeders are being selected for
specific traits and the babies are getting better and better
with each generation.
