It's a Butter Mot? Its patterning looks like a poor motley specimen, but still motley enough to be considered so. If'n the belly is clear, that is.
And I'm guessing you didn't know that either parent was het Motley, and somehow that was a problem?
Either that or your hand is hiding its other half, another conjoined butter?

My guess is that it is homo for diffused (bloodred If you prefer). But that is something I would consider a bonus, not some thing that is "wrong" with it.
When you say "What's wrong with this butter?" there are just too many possibilities, it could be genetic or physical or just some random oddity.
I think we all might need another hint or to. Or at least something a little more specific than "What's wrong with this butter?" :shrugs:

I'm talkin' to YOU.
Well I dunno. I thought it was pretty darn obvious when I opened the incubator and looked at the hatchling. So far all of the hatchlings out of the egg share the issue. And it's visible in the photos.
Here's a few more pics. Perhaps it's easier to see on a non-amel morph?

Are you talking about the head pattern? :shrugs:

It's the eyes.
As you can see from this picture, the lavender has a normal-sized eye for a hatchling. I don't have good enough resolution on my ruler to give an exact size, but it's visibly over 2mm in diameter.
The butter (and siblings), which are larger hatchlings, have smaller eyes, 2mm or less in diameter. The overall effect causes them to appear to have longer heads.
I have no idea if this defect is something worth worrying about, or if they will grow out of it. The fact that nobody here noticed the odd eye size makes me wonder if I need be concerned at all. Thoughts?
