Hey guys...my cons have gone into breeding mode a couple questions. I have a female pink con, and black male con...I've heard things about marble con offspring??? Could this happen..? Here are pics of their pit and the two frisky parents.

Added: Mods I wish you all would do something about this new version of mfk it is ridiculous that it takes me 10 tries to upload a picture now and half the time I can't even upload them what a pile of crap.
 
Not so sure that works to cross reg with pink to get marble.
 
You mean marble like this?

I have another one as well. Both females. I like the other one more. She is a grey calico con but is camera shy so I don't have a good pic. Looking for males to make some more:naughty:

Jeez with all the posts in the 'other' convict breeding threads you'd think I'd get some answers to whether or not they will be marble
 
I really don't think so. I believe the marbles come from many generations of selective breeding to get the marbling. But I could be wrong.
 
ok heres my theary and has worked.breed ur pink and black togther. then wait tell the youngs grow up to about an inch to 3 inches then breed them to eachother or one of the parents. then u can get marbles
 
I had a pink female and a barred male spawn. I ended up with both barred and pink cons but only about 20% were pink cons. I also get this same results with my barred pair (80% barred and 20% pink). With my pink pair I get all pink fry.

try to spawn the 20% of pink to the parent and see what happens
