About
Arabesque is a dominant mutation founded by Steve Hammond of Exceptional Exotics.
History
In 1993 the trait was proven genetic by Steve Hammond when he produced a litter that included sixteen Arabesque. In 1997 Steve Hammond discovered that the morph was at least dominant when he bred it into his “Sunburst” line, which was totally unrelated to the original Arabesque bloodline. The following year Peter Kahl bred an Arabesque female to an Albino male, the result being nearly half of the babies exhibiting the Arabesque trait, making them heterozygous for Albino. [1]
