1st Hatchling Weirdo!!

A few years ago I bred an amel to a snow and got 1 normal in the clutch. The female was an amel that I raised from a baby and was a virgin so no chance at retained sperm. I talked to one of my genetics professors and he said since an albino animal is the result of a mutated gene sometimes during early cell development the mutation or "mistake" is corrected. It is VERY rare for something like this to happen but it does happen.

Thats exactly what a biology student told me
she called it reversion theres an article on wikipedia
about this phenoumen! So i think its a very special lil critter
n im realy thinkin about keepin him!

Sry for double postin!

But now i´m totaly confused 4 more normals pipped out
n think thats a number which cant be declared by a
"nature correction"?!

maybe another female in her viv which is in fact a male? and she produced eggs from two different pairings?

would be a possibility?! I know somenone, who produced hybrids from hybrid x guttatus pairing. after first clutch he bred guttatus male to same female and she produced a second clutch. mostly pure guttaus corns in the eggs - and two or three hybrids (I think getulus was involved, so seperating them was pretty easy). Something like that would explain your results.

Nope no unknown genders live together with her they are
all seperated n only were put together with the males in single boxes!

Male is also from a clean Blizzard x Blizzard Pairing
i know the parents n they were corns withour any hybrid influence.

I´m dunno think we had to wait for first shed maybe they turn
out to be something else then they appear?!

She's super dark. Are you sure of her genetics?

I think she looks WAY dark compared to even most of the charcoals i've seen, but the two baby pics posted in the thread do look like charcoal morphs to my untrained eye. any chance she's anery het charcoal/etc or something like that? where did she come from, and what kind of babies has she had before? definitely an interesting thread (and so like my breeding issues...).

I havent ever seen a charcoal that looks remotely like that one.
I quite like getting unknowns in the clutches.
