This was a clutch produced by my friend John Woolard, it's been awhile since I'd seen these and I do have to admit that they have a little more color to them than I remembered, although I also don't know just how long from hatching these were taken, so they could have started a little more axanthic looking. They're still off colored enough that you can see the obvious difference though.


In this picture, the center one is normal colored, the other two are "expected hets"



In this one, it's the bottom left and top center that are abnormally colored what are expected to turn out to be hets.



Anyways, finally got hold of the pics that I said I'd share just to give you an example of what I was talking about. Dave I do think it's possible for some babies to be influenced by the genetics they carry and only some of them out of a litter show it, I'm pretty sure that is what happens with the splash gene in kenyan sand boas, and also in the het pied litter of bp's hatched out by a friend of mine this year...so it definitely happens in other snakes, seems logical that it would happen with with brb's also.
