A note on my Breed 'N Buy Account

I really love CreatureBreeder's one update: the one that allows you to feed other farmer's hungry creatures. It is such a wonderful source of income for farmers to take advantage of- especially, the newer members!

My Breed 'N Buy was originally intended as a free farm, for new members to get creatures at a reasonable cost, so I've removed all berry trees and placed food barrels on the farms. That way farmers can recoup some of their farmbucks should they choose to adopt from me. If they don't purchase from me they'll just get a little extra farmbucks. 

Whatever to help the community out. :)

Is this something I would only think of? Lol, hopefully people won't comment in uproars about my sickly creatures.

Cheers!

Breeding Project: Tree of Life Tots

FP1GM00120

I've been actively working on a new TurtleTot project. I started the project on January 10th 2014. The project was started after coming across a TurtleTot that had a tree like pattern on it's belly. Here is a direct link to her. I purchased her from Nialove on January 8th, and immediately went on a hunt for other TurtleTots' to use.

On February 20th I finally hatched three perfect specimens. It took twenty-six separate breeding "bundles" to get the perfect pattern. As in, it took me one month and ten days to get the pattern right with very specific breedings. What I meant by bundles is separate breeding days; I hatched 113 TurtleTots before getting one perfect specimen.

This girl is the first perfect bred, but she has an excess spot. Then I hatched this male that has a perfect pattern, and no excess spots. The last perfect pattern bred is a female, found here, has an excess spot too.

Now that I have perfect specimen I need to standardize skin color, shell size, shell colors, eye color, eye size, belly colors, spot colors, and make sure I don't breed in extra spots. It seems like a lot of work needs to still get done, but I'm glad I'm already seeing progress.

At the moment, I'm going to focus on eye size and skin color while breeding more perfect patterns, and breeding out any excess spots. After I get the eye size correct I'll focus on shell size.

The TurtleTot project's name is totally subject to change. I think Cosmic Tree tots would be another good name.

Continuing to Work on This Site

I am casually working on this blogspot. At the moment I am still developing some pages, but I did just complete the "Who I Am" page and the "My Accounts" page. I still need to finish four more pages, but they seem to be a really slow process.

Any way, I've been rather busy dealing with a minor bedroom fire, a broken laptop, and college classes. Bare with me. :)

Cheers!
