Just a heads up, the Jade coloration has only ever been seen on the scratcher, oriental, young oriental, coiled male and there is ONE Emperor at the factory. The Sun has not been seen in jade.
I believe someone had a Jade hatching empress for sale? What about hatching royalty then?
Please paint more Okapi males? I need him to complete the set, and the males do well as stand alone pieces also.

I’m just looking to complete my Siamese griff family, then I think I will be satisfied with Griffins. I liked the cheetahs, but at the time I didnt have the funds to try for them.
Holding out for snow leopard griffs though. I think that would be beautiful.

I thought I would like the Numbat coloration, but I find I prefer the darker Okapi (which is good, I dont need to have a sudden interest in all unicorns, I just love the Okapi unis). I’m in love with the tiger dragons, and the only piece I didnt like it on was the curl. But I usually dont go for the smaller sculpts anyway.
I hope there will be tiger orientals at some point. Or a tiger mother and baby to go with this male. I LOVE seeing full sets. Like the cheetah griffins.
I keep coming back to look at the picture. She really is exquisite.
I think I already own one PT PYO. Vintage Rose? Im hoping this will be my second. I am simply stunned by her.
I would like to trade my Pearl Hatching Empress(not mint, small chip on her topmost horn, but an easy fix) for any of these dragons listed:
Dark Ruby:
Lap
Mother
Emperor (not the hatching)
scratcherJade:
young oriental
sun oriental
Mother
Father
emperor (not hatching)Or rather Im interested in ANY jade or dark ruby I dont have already. This is what I HAVE:
Jade oriental
Jade coiled male
Jade scratcherdark ruby young dragon
dark ruby male dragon
dark ruby fledglingDepending on which dragon you are willing to trade, if its worth more or less than the empress, then either I would give money with the empress or you would give money to get the empress, plus the dragon you trade.
I breed reptiles. As a breeder, I think the sentiment that “All pets should get fixed” is just silly. If they were all fixed, there would be no more of them.
I do not in any way shape or form condone animal ‘mills’. Im not talking about them. They breed with no regard for genetics, lineage or purpose other that to create as many of an animal as possible for profit. True breeders only use the best animals for breeding, and do not breed anything less(they also are quite aware that if you breed in this way, its not something you can profit on. It takes a true interest in bettering a species to breed this way). If those (less than perfect genetically) animals are fixed, it’s no loss. But to take an animal that could pass on 98th percentile genetics and sterilize it does nothing to help the breed or species.
An owner that doesnt want ‘surprise’ litters should get their pet fixed, true. But what if I wanted to breed the domestic fox? Not to charge $6000 and profit, but for an honest love of foxes and to continue the process of domestication?

If people just stopped breeding these animals, there would be no more of them. I do not like altered animals unless there is a reason that they shouldnt be bred(health issue, etc). If that farm/lab were to get a disease and they all died… no more domestic fox? It does not help to have all eggs in one basket etc.
I dont condone the ‘mill’ breeders. What Im talking about is responsible people who know what they are doing who want to breed the best animals(the top 1% as the youtube video implies) and improve the breed/species. If those types of breeders dont exist then eventually the animal doesn’t exist. What the lab has done is created something… the domestic fox. And this could be lost for future generations if no one else continues it.
As for checking up on them… I dont suppose you remember the Ashera cat fiasco? The supposed serval/wildcat/bengal hybrid that people were trying to push for $20,000 when it turned out they were just Savannah cats(serval/bengals)? I just recommended being safe. 6000 is a lot to lose.
I plan to. But due to my living situation while my house is being built, most of them have to remain safely packed until we move. But as soon as I get all of them moved and set up, you can be sure I will post pics.
I would REALLY google the sibfox place. They may be a scam. They have very little in the way of fox care info on the site and it seems a little cookie cutter. Also the price is really high. They seem to be a broker on American soil that may or may not be getting these foxes from the Siberian farm. It would probably even be cheaper if you could find a way to order one directly from the Siberian farm and not through the middle man. There’s simply no way this person isnt doing this for ridiculous profit, and on top of that, they neuter them, so they are trying to corner a market it looks like.
Seems shady.

Guilty as charged. He didn’t go as high as I thought he would, so my last minute bidding actually came out well. Wampus Cat will have ‘matching’ brothers now.
And I’m currently trying to complete an Okapi uni set… I just need Melody to list another male now and I would have the full set, minus the Grand. I havent decided whether or not I will try for the Grand when she lists him. I usually dont like unicorns, but the Okapi pattern is REALLY striking! (Can you tell that I like loud animal prints yet?)

Yes I did! I had to pack it back up though after I inspected it because I dont have a safe place to display it yet.
