We could also use some color reference photos, good clear shots, and we can credit/link back to the photographer.

I've been busy with school so I can only type up so much lately, sorry. D:

I would love to help out. Amber don't you have some colored gliders? It would be great to have some of your photos!

Oh um, how do we write it out? Should we just email it to you for approval or post it here to see if people think it sounds accurate?

I do have some photos, but definitely not all and not always the best. Some of my guys just do NOT like photo time. X_x They do their best to either jump on my head or move every time I click. >_> Some of the ones up are mine, too.


For info you can either PM or E-Mail me, whichever you prefer. <3

'Brown Beauty', Lion, Albino, Creamino, Plat I don't have, and my cinnies do NOT sit still. ):


Here are the best shots I've gotten of my elusive cinnies.

I wrote up a genetics page, it is really simplified but I think it gets the job done, my source may have not been up to date so feel free to punch me.

Also I am taking my transfer genetics class within a few weeks here so I may be able to add more info or correct current stuffs.
