Thanks.

I was speaking to another breeder and she said that she thought she was umborous (faint cheekflashes) and that she was a copper banded but definatley not a yellow because of the self markings.

Her under colour is creamy.

EDIT: Where did my other post and souffles reply go? :S

Is it my computer?

Your post was off topic, this thread isn't suppose to about figuring out the color of people hamsters, its about finding particular pictures of hamster for an article. I split the thread and moved posts related to your question to the syrian topic. Please keep on topic next time

Thanks.

Oh I'm really sorry.

I know she was wanting pictures of hamster colours, and since she knew about genetics I replied to it here to see if she knew what Bailey was so that if she needed pictures of that colour I could provide better pictures for her

Sorry if it was in the wrong place

It's no problem

I just want to keep on topic. I would hate for this thread to turn into a "what color is my hamster" topic rather then focusing on the original purpose for the thread. Plus I don't want to burden Christine with the extra questions when shes busy working on the genetics article. Its really a big undertaking, I feel lucky shes even doing it!

Your reasoning seems logical, but thats why I moved it. So don't worry.. I didn't mean to surprise you, but you were probably replying back to Souffle just as I was splitting the topic lol.

Thanks for the photos of your hammy. I replied to you on the other post about her color.

You mentioned that you have a long haired cream male. I have one too! I call him Prince Hairy. But he is a Black Eyed Cream. If yours happens to be a RED EYED CREAM (cream with red eyes of course,) then I would like a good picture of him. Send it along, please!

Does anyone have any tips for getting good hamster pictures - it seems impossibly difficult to me?

I know what you mean! All the suggestions given are great and I just wanted to add that you should plan to take lots of pictures. Digital cameras a slow since they have to focus first and then fire the flash. It is usually only a second or so but it is the difference between getting a cute face picture and a "see you later" butt shot!

I just charge up my battery and just snap away as fast as the flash can recharge. Don't wait for a cute shot because you will miss it! Out of about 20 photos there is usually one that is good. Really good photos are one in a hundred or more! I like the suggestion of the window sill by using natural light. Then you won't have to wait for your flash. I have one hamster, Georgie, who hates the flash and he blinks EVERYTIME I take his picture so every one has his eyes closed! Natural light is the only way I can get any shots of him with his eyes open!

I recommend to everyone who has a camera to take lots of pictures of their hammies while they can. They have such short lives that they can be gone before we know it. Then a photo is all we'll have! I take videos of mine too, and then I burn them onto a DVD. Watching the DVD is boring entertainment for everyone else but I love to watch them!

Actually, I was looking for photos of a beautiful Golden. I stole one from another site. I hope that isn't rude! I'm new to this Internet etiquette.

I am wondering if you know what your hamster is. He doesn't have a creamy belly like a pure golden should. His brown color seems to wrap around his tummy and meet in a thin white line. Is that right? I am thinking that he must have some other genes involved. Has a breeder ever told you what color he is?

What a cutie! I love the last picture of his on the bed. What a face! I will probably use at least one of your photos if you don't mind.

Thanks a bunch!

But he is pretty! Can I use his photo anyway if I can find a place for him? I plan on writing a small series of articles on genes and since he is BEC I will probably use several photos of that color.

You can send me some more pictures of him if you like.
