If the hatchlings had shown any signs of following in Lil's footsteps, I'd have euthed them all and never bred Lil again, Chip. I'm totally convinced there was no genetic reason for Lil's problems.
In a way it would have been easier to deal with if they had all been unhealthy in some way, kinked, non-feeders or failed to thrive. That way I would have known Lil's problems weren't my fault. Instead they were all textbook easy to raise babies. Shed and fed without any problems and romped away in rude health. I've actually been asked for amel babies from her again this year because they grew on and sold well.
