Myra and Myron are grey gliders with a black stripe and whitish belly. Rusty is tan with a brown stripe and a pumpkin belly. Rusty's nose is longer and more pointed than M/M. I think if I bred Rusty with another tan that I would get tans, at least I hope so.
Any one in the Dallas, TX are with a female tan want to try breeding with our male tan?
