authenticity of mini marbled motoros

[DB junkie]

Guy in the pic I'd have to dig, but I think he's 13 months. I'd guess average litter size here is probably 2. Ranges from 1-3 typically. Had 4 once.

Here's my prized breeder that left last week. The tote is a foot across. I taped her at 14 before selling. New owner reports he thinks bigger.

DB junkie I hear what you’re saying. Sadly, the only way to become “known” these days is to be active in social media and the internet. I’m not a fan. No social media accts, and MFK & simply discus are the only forums I frequent. Wondering how old is the stunning MM in the 1st pic you posted? How many pups can a mature mini female carry? I’d name the one eyed guy “bung-eye” lol. He’s cool as heck!

My girlfriend messes around on tick tacks and instant grams.......

As far as the name for that one eyed guy - Rizz seemed fitting..... lol. (Rizzdale Pell = the one eyed bad guy in the last mad max movie)

Not to sound like a grinch here but IF you see any kind of Pearl blood in that I'd do some more reading up on rays......

This ray was a CB pup here almost a decade ago.

Apologizes I'm quite new to rays, I swear I've seen a ray that looks very similar to that but I cannot put my finger on what type it is.

1st ray looks like a mutt to me. Second is typical Pearl.

Marble patterns seem to vary more then any other ray out there in my opinion. I have some here that look like mutts too. (I'm more of a fan of the oddball patterns then the "typical" Marble patterns) IF they weren't born here I'd question the lineage myself but every generation they are selectively captive bred they get crazier and crazier......Marbles are a lifestyle. They consume you. So many patterns and certain patterns bred with certain patterns offer certain traits. I can see why not many people out there mess with the species - the litter size is terribly small and if born young can be difficult to get going. But to me the patterns and adult size make up for it.

they all look pretty similar to me but I do see the difference in gaps you mention, I'm actually trying to start breeding mmms but I don't even have any to start with, don't live in UK unfortunately so I cant snatch any from Richard H.
