Bettarazzi Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Oh yes... very nice. That's the one from Furrballs, right? Not the ratthanuwat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2jdaze Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 yep that's the one from Furrballs and if i'da been a couple hours earlier he woulda been mine actually he does look a lot like the one i picked up for $10 wonder if they are at all related, the only difference to me seems that this guy has just a tad more intense colouring and the pic doesn't really do him justice either! he really is gorgeous!

copper1 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 there was 2 gold ones there exactly the same when i went there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 but you got miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine! so are you planning to breed him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper1 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 um well i dont really have any girls to go with him, although i do have a copper female and a platnium red one i think she is. which one would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 probably the copper female, he's a metallic and you'll breed the copper true with that cross also it'll prolly take a second gen cross to get yellows if you haven't got a non-red or yellow girl, but hey, that's all part of the fun!

copper1 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 so what would i get if i did the copper female to the gold male? (both are dragons) and then would i have to spawn a brother and sister from that spawn to get the gold/yellow color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 that gold wasn't a dragon, he didn't have the opaque layer needed. he's simply a copper over a mustard body (black/yellow) and yellow fins. so you would get 100% coppers with 1 yellow gene, which does indeed mean that you'd get copper yellows from a sister/brother cross. of course if the female has a non-red, yellow or orange gene you may get up to 50% non-red/coppers in gen one, it's kinda hard to say with unknown genes (especially when dealing with dominant genes).
