Agreed Dave, you're right on about expected ratios. After checking in on them a day later, clearly a have gained some color and the other (7) look exactly like Brian Sharp strain anerys. They have that silver/grey and black look which is much different than the yellowish pastel looking father and normal appearing mom that produced them.
I mentioned early on a few years back, that I thought the father may be a new line of anery since he was void of any red, as was his yellow father. If he is indeed anery, one desirable trait is, rather than brown out like the Sharp strain, he's become BRIGHTER! I do believe him to be a homozygous form and his mom a het, so I would expect half of this litter to potentially be anery. When you consider the potential litter size was 15, counting the slugs, live and single still born, 7 anerys makes sense. I'm not one to run around shouting "new morph, new morph" but there's definitely something strange and exciting going on here. This latest breeding is the most outrageous one yet.
I'll update everyone with post shed pics in a few weeks with sex ratio as well. Thank you for posting.
