Brown/tan gryphon eye colors

(Loki, your stripey male is the most gorgeous one I’ve seen! Wow!)

It looks like the brown/tan gryphon males were released with two different eye colors: a pale blue, like the female brown gryphon, and a darker blue, the same used on the peacock dragons.

The non-stripey gryphons seem to be produced in both the light and dark blue eye color:

Dark:

My Stripey brown male has the dark blue eyes, as does Nambroth’s:

Mimi has a Windstone catalog from 1992 that shows the non-stripey gryphons with pale blue eyes. Was there a particular year that you changed the eye color on the brown gryphons? Or were they released at the same time with two different eye colors? Do all the stripey Gryphons have dark blue eyes?

Just curious, don’t mean to drill 😛I don’t know! They are supposed to have the medium blue eyes.Did the female get shipped with the lighter eyes?? Oy vey

Poor Melody, she has to keep track of so much 😉

And I got my brown chick today! Thank you! I no longer have anything to :squeak: about 😀 Except maybe I’ll through out a squeak in a couple months for a new Kirin production color 😉 The mistake was made a long time ago when we produced the brown males, I didn’t know there were two colors of eyes. I guess we could make females with light and dark eyes, to match whatever males you have, since the males were made with both color eyes. I wonder which color blue was most prevelent -?

I noticed my griffen chicks have almost lavendar eyes. They look more purplish than blue.

I need to point out that the stripy and non-stripy winged males weren’t made as two distinct colors. They are all part of the same run; the paint pattern just “drifted” over time. Therefore, the eye color probably has no correlation to the wing pattern.
