Thank you every one :)

I hope to eventually have one with a full blue/green back, that's my goal anyway. ;)

This baby came from two Rosey parents - the other two siblings were not as colorful so I decided to keep this one back to pair to another one with just as much green and blue on the back.

Has anyone really seen a Scarlet in person? A gorgeous one that their colors seem to shimmer? Awesome! :wink:

I'm using cages right now - large cages. So far so good :)
