I personally like the contrast of the Red Face with the yellow. Yellow Face might not be as showy. This mutation is new here in the U.S. as well. A friend who is working with Stars bought a male like this--he is gorgeous! Congrats on this achievement! =D>

Is this a result of selection - or a mutation? Really really pretty.

Did you breed these or did you buy them?

i originally bought 2 young pair - since then they have coloured up and produced 6 young between them. yellow belly stars are produced by combining the fawn and cinnamon mutation.
