Madrule I am becoming more and more envious of your collection everytime you post pictures of your animals

Very nice Lavender there, and she's a girl too

One question though.. I know you're wanting to get your Calico project on the go as soon as possible, but why waste it out on the albino lavender? As BV said the Calico may not even be recessive (I know Calbino's would be wicked!), but its one big gamble... I would have bred your girl in the pictures with your Albino Tiger (if it is a male), and get some more albinos and albino tigers out from the breeding of these two.. It would leave you with alot more offspring to work with for future projects, such as the cross with the calico. I would probably use your tiger (if it is a female) to cross with the calico and work your way up from there in proving the calico out from there with other morph combo's. I know it takes more time, but in the long run, it'll will make it easier to work with your morph combo's.
You haven't mentioned what sexes your retic morphs may be, so don't really know what combo's to suggest, but hey I gave you some ideas.
Have you been able to introduce any dwarf locales into your projects? Jampea or Kayuadi could be good for future projects too.
All in all, you have one awesome collection so far! Well done brutha :P
