Awww - but heres the rub - since he suposedly has the mom and has not shown her - we can assume (most probably) that she is normal in appearance - which makes her either normal or a het - if she was derma you can bet the pair would have been prominantly displayed and he'd be asking $100K for offspring.

Assuming that it is genetic .... Since there was only one Derma in the clutch that would mean that either the father was derma and it is a co-dom gene meaning the siblings were all normal. Or its recessive by at least one het parent, and unless we know for a fact that Dad was a visual derma (which we don't) then at best those offspring would be possbile hets from a het to het pairing.

Without some solid evidence that those "normal" looking offspring came from anything genetic or any genetics behind the father, I'd say it's a stretch asking $30K for them - now asking $30K for a visual morph that may or may not be genetic is another horse all together.
