    Black Copper Male

    This is the red Coppers brother, but he is a complete black copper. Also a beaut, really like the total black in him.

    My HalfMoon Purple Salamander x Yellow HM Fry

    Here is some pics of my HM Purple Salamader fry.....they all look pretty much the same, this ,eans he is a true breed, I had to x him with a HM yellow female as this was the closest I could get. The results is not bad, and they are starting to get a pink color to them, but this will change most likele as they get older. They are almost 2 months old.

    HI @tracyp haha....I am not but I have work people that travel that way from JHB rather often. I might be selling 2 of the Copper males, and I will be selling all the HM Salamander fry.

    @HennieRoux, I will wait patiently for you to get ready to sell some of your coppers in 6months or so time. :p

    Once you have a had a few more successful breeding sessions and plenty of those coppers. I will make a plan to get one or two :p

    @HennieRoux, spectacular coppers you have there. Congrats! Mine looks very similar to your's. I would love to swop you with one of my copper females for one of your copper females from that spawn. If you want propper purple salamander's, i have some males and females for you. I also have very nice black orchid's which I'm going to cross with my black coppers. I'm also trying to breed black copper double tails, but those will still take some time. You should try and cross your black CT to one of your copper fry...
