The next baby in Cherche's French Dessert litter is the last male of the group--Crêpe ! ♡
Such a busy pattern, and there's a lot to love! He's the highest expression paradox of the litter, he has a lovely thick stripe that's jagged all the way down and forks at his neck.
He is the least saturated stripe compared to his siblings. He has some of the upticking of orange speckles from his belly up his sides but its very light and not very noticeable. The orange speckles up the sides is a variable trait of stripes, some have very little to none of the orange on the sides, and some have a lot! The presence and contrast of it is a desirable trait for me personally. The sire to this litter is a nice example of it, here you can see what I mean below!
And here is a picture I pulled from google of a non-albino stripe where you can see the orange on the sides!
The contrast comes from the depth of color from the orange on top of a light or dark background. In this case all of my stripes are P. Albino so a light off-white background color is going to show this trait the best!
At the moment I can't be sure which of the babies will turn out to be the lightest background color, but it does appear that Crêpe may not surpass his father in this way--at least from what I can tell with the saturation level of his oranges at this moment. He is much easier on the eyes than his neon highlighter siblings! I fear he would have been too powerful if he was just as bright. The world may have imploded, or just my eyes from the busy tricolor pattern, lol
He has a mellow, quiet personality. He's not the biggest explorer and won't venture far. But doesn't mind being picked up nor gets overly-spooked.
He is also on his second live meal, it will be a couple weeks before I offer frozen/thawed again on advice from my mentor.
