I see a normal or classically colored motley and what appears to be a lavender motley. I suppose it could be a het motley/stripe (trundlefart for those up on their genetics) but I don't want to add further confusion to this conversation.
Post shed pic
I'd like to see more photos, in good lighting, especially showing the eyes of that one, I'm leaning more towards motley anery at the moment, which means the known hets of the parents are out.
Now I love normals as much as the next person, but why would someone work for years and years to try to hatch one? That part makes me scratch my head!
Oh, I forgot I originally thought there was hypo there preshed, so I'm saying ghost mot. Still want to see the parents though.I'd lean toward lavender mot. I think an anery mot would be MUCH darker.
Hey- I do, every year! I've got plenty of takers, too!![]()
Thanks Josh. I see no pied there. I also see hypo and ghost like I'd thought I would
Christen the parents are my Bloodred het pied male and my amel het charcal het lavender female. Took alot of time to get the right mix of genes.
You're not seeing pied because it is a bloodred het pied.I too would like to see photos of the parents and know who he purchased them from as there are more genes floating around in there besides diffuse, amel, charcoal and lavender. OR...this clutch doesn't belong to those parents, i.e. a case of retained sperm, an honest mix-up of clutches in the incubator, misrepresented het genes by the seller of the parents, or lots of unknown hets that showed up. Any of these are definite possibilities.
But I see a ghost motley (MAY be a moonstone motley, but I haven't seen enough of those yet). Some of those pre-shed hatchlings may very well be lavenders. Those can be a tricky morph that young to identify sometimes.
I would like to see photos of all the hatchlings once they have shed as that will greatly help in the identification of the ones in question.
Um, most people involved with colubrids don't slit their eggs. As far as the "nasty, hateful but coated in educational/ helpful responses"....I HAD tried to help you, I really did. Goddess knows you NEED help. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and you slapped me in the face. It appears that my initial feelings about you were the correct ones, and I am pretty sure I don't like you at all. So here is the deal....you go your way, I go mine. But if I EVER see you advertising babies for sale and misrepresenting them, I promise you I will let it be known. You know NOTHING about genetics.
