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. :D
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 :lol: .

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!
