All so very nice. Hope your keeping a few to share their growth and color or lack of change with us. :D. Will be very interesting to see how those purplish heads turn out.

I still can't believe the shell on that last one! I just personally wish it had some crazy red coloring on it's head.

Whit' ..... whats even more wild is it's head! ... I swear it's purple/grey with just a tinge of red up at the neck line. The camera flash washes out the true color. Same with Snoway .....inbetween her head pattern it a bright blue/purple. 2 Diffrent Moms . Snow is related to yours..... while the 2 purps are OG's kids.

how is it that you get these colors? is it breeding an albino to a regular? do they even have an albino gene in torts? this is really beautiful and unique
