Hey everyone,
Thought Id show you a pink painted mutation. The back looks white in the photo but in fact it has a slight pink tinge to it.

I like it better than the yellow fronteds. What is the genetics for breeding them? Frighten us and give with the price.
Thanks for putting this on for us to see.

Ill give you a price if you give me access to a time machine so I can go back to the late 80s when they were alive

.
Yeah unfortunately they are no longer living and more unfortunate that they werent able to be reproduced so the colour died out.
I put the photo up cause I found it the other day and thought I would share it. Hope no one go their hopes up

I was about to have a good cry over the loss of this mutation. Now it seems I don't have to. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more.

Yeah me as well. It would be great to see the mutation alive. Heck even a small amount of colour on the back would be something to work with!
