Hello Everyone!
We wanted to give and update on the Sunder Project. After doing the same pairing we did in 2021, we wanted to tweak a few things about the project. The pictures in the original post have been updated. Sunder (to break into pieces). New Gene! — Cold Blooded Earth
First and foremost, yes, it is the real deal! We were happy to be able to repeat the results from last season, and it was even better this year. We even hit, what we believe are a few more Super Sunder Golden Eyes, and one of the most incredible T+ Albino Sunder Mapgies! They are pictured below.
As we refine this project over time, we will of course keep everyone up to date on what we are seeing!

**Potential Issue with the Super Form** In this clutch this season we hatched two animals with a slight under bite and they were Super Sunder GEs. We did not see this happen last season, and hatched 4 Super Sunder GEs in this clutch that did not express this issue. However, we wanted to highlight this just in case it is tied to the Super form. We must do more test breedings. This in our eyes, does not change how incredible the Sunder Gene is, and its future potential. If the Super form does have a defect, we will treat it just like the Super Batik and avoid it. Stay tuned for more!
