Just sharing this in case you have not seen it on the forums today. :)

Interesting things happen when you breed or try to breed a Turp with a Lumina.

Before breeding:



After breeding:



And since it says "They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last." in their description I am curious how it will play out. Will the scales grow back in new colors or will they remain tan permanently. This is pretty nifty! :)

X-posting to a LJ Dragon comm. too, so apologies if you see it twice.

I turned one of mine tan, too! I'm going to wait on any others until I see when/if they change back. I'm also curious whether they'll breed tan babies. ::Watches egg intently::

I'm at 1 too but only because right before I found out about this I was testing the Turp/Moonstone refusal theory. THEN I read the thread and flailed at having to wait a week to try it myself. And then recalled I had 1 lonely Turp on page 2 of my scroll and life was ok again. *grin*

Did you get a Turp or Lumina egg? I got a Lumina. And like you I'm wondering will the hatchies be affected too. I'm sort of rooting for a color change in the adults as well because that would be kind of awesome. And keep me producing mutt dragons to see how many changes the adults go through with each re-growth. Well, if there is a re-growth. :P

I got a Lumina egg. I'm kind of hoping that the adults go back to their original colors eventually, but the eggs grow up to be tan. I don't want to have to try to collect another 4 CB Luminae so I can have 2 CB pairs of each color! Either way, though, it's fun to see how they turn out.

Thanks for the heads up! I have just tried with mine and changed two of my Lumina dragons.

ETA:

Apparently the scales grow back after 24 hours.
