Posted - 23/07/2014 : 20:27:31 Last week Living Gems profiled the Prometheus-Spessartine pairing, which may produce some stunner reds this year.
This week, we are profiling the Picasso-Nephrite pairing.
Picasso Picasso is a male of unknown age with a highly unusual dual orange color scheme. Estimated at eight to nine years old, this is his second year at bat for LGR (he sired a litter of 22 with Malachite last year).
Below is a picture of him at arrival at LGR, estimated five to six years old:
And here a picture of him at his most recent annual photo session, estimated eight years old:
Picasso currently weighs 1566 grams.
Nephrite Nephrite is a July 2010 female with medium orange color. Now four years old, this is her first year as a breeder.
Below is a picture of her as a baby upon her arrival at LGR at three months old:
And here a picture of her at her most recent annual photo session, aged three years:
Nephrite currently weighs 2116 grams.
Activity Picasso and Nephrite have been observed sharing a hide or water bowl many times. They had one confirmed tail wrap, in late March. She last shed on April 29, is up by 200 grams over the last two months, has refused her monthly rat twice, and is suddenly looking very plump. If all goes well, we should have some wide-ranging oranges toward the end of this year.
