No...this is not the only ring tail. I beleive it is the price that will prevent most from obtaining one from a certain breeder like it though...... as this coloration is not an established line yet which is producing only ring tails that I know of.
Kati....how does $4000 sound? This will give you an idea as to why it is rare or why no one else seems to own one at the moment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />
I know only of three breeders who have actually produced the ring tailed. And all go back to the orig person who started inbreeding and line breeding for various shades rather than breeding for the typical all white Leucistic/BEW glider. Orig breeder.....Helen Moreno.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> Do you happen to know what Helen Moreno uses for her buisness name? Didn't it use to be Helen's Critters or something like that?? I'm trying to come up with a name for my new website, and unfortunately Helen's anything will sound like hers. Sooooo I'm out of ideas LOL.
as far as i have heard helen sold her business to someone else, who is now making quite a bad name for it by neutering her males herself and selling the joeys way too young. if i'm wrong please correct me, i wouldn't want to start a rumor that wasn't true, but that's what i heard recently from someone that came to wsgn: the new owner of the business neuters her joeys and sells them too young.
Well, in THAT case, I guess I really should be leaving my name off my website! I would hate for people to think it was the same Helen... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />
Helen did sell most of her normal stock and her website name to a lady that worked for her. She still owns some normals and a lot of colors that have been in a breeding program for 6 years. Pricilla cares for Helen's gliders and is able to use her own to breed out some of the genetics that are closely bred. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/multi.gif" alt="" />
Priscilla is awesome, I'm getting a few gliders from her in the next few weeks.
Considering the name I was thinking of was Helen's Menagerie (it's my ebay id LOL), I still think it was a tad too close. Helen isn't exactly the most popular name, and I really just don't want it to cause problems. But it's all good anyway because my boyfriend (of all people!) came up with an awesome name for the new website, now all I have to do is get the domain registered! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" />
When I saw the ringtail I fell in love that was the one I had to have. So I put a request in for one and I am still wating... Pricilla did say that some of the babys were comming out with white tails but, I think the ringtal is unique. I am willing to wait how ever long it takes.
