Oddball creature.......



The interesting thing about this one is that the body appears to be hypomelanistic yet the head is definitely amelanistic.

Surprisingly enough this one seems to be a survivor. Some problems getting the first shed off, but it's OK now. Also feeds real well, so I'm hopefull this one will continue to thrive.

That's really odd. What were its parents? Quite an intriguing phenomenon going on there...

At frist glance, that odd ball doesn't look that odd...but after you take a second look at it, it's totally weird....and I like it a lot too!! LoL....I wonder what it's going to be called when this proves to be a trend......amel hypo?

That's awesome, does anyone know how that works?? An amel Hypo? That's a corn with a bit of black and no black all at the same time? It's gotta be some sort of mistake! Is there any hope of a new cultivar?

Heck, I have to check to see what that animal looks like these days. I turned it over to my wife to take care of because I was afraid I would neglect it with all of the stuff going on around here during show season. It appeared fragile. Had trouble shedding from the start, and even though it was a good feeder, it appeared to have a fast metabolism and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to feed it often enough to keep it going. Some smaller babies are like that. You have to feed them every four days or they will just fail to thrive.

She hasn't told me it died, so I assume it is still alive. At least I hope so.

Rich,

if you have time, try taking another shot at that weird oddball.
it might have changed colors dramatically....and it might even look more bazzar than the old pic~
