Hey, I used to find that people would "pick out" the fancy colors and I'd be left with a tank of nutmeg, agouti, and black (note that these colors are much more popular when spotted).
Now I define the pairs, e.g., a black with a silver nutmeg rather than letting people mix and match. Sometimes I'll only show the ones that I want to place. Holding back some fancy colors. Also nutmegs are way easier to place pre-molt. Donna --- Rachel Wall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why is it that agouti and black are often rejected, > classified as common > uninteresting colors?
