First of all I LOVE the result of the Hypo and Leopard genes in that baby. Het Leopards have always been noted for their uniqueness. I expected good things from Hypos, but all I can say is I CAN NOT WAIT for a Hypo Leopard!

I have another year (I hope) before I can pair up my Hypo and Leopard!

On the note of the Leopard neonate, I am going to say parthenogenisis. It might be a coincedence that Jeremy also had a Leopard, or maybe Sunglows are the cause.
Correct me if I am wrong, but are these two sunglow breedings the FIRST time Leopard X Hypo genes were crossed? If so, the Central American heritage of Hypos may hold the gene. WOW!

Jeremy had the two T-plus Albinos from his Motley X T-plus litter, you and he had the Leopards, others had Albinos in Harlequin X litters, unexpected Anerys (and Celia's wierd Hypo Jungle? litter). All of these things are just too much. Either there are hidden hets, which would make it a whole lot easier to understand, or thanks to morphs we have learned how prevalent parthenogenisis is in boas.

In breedings with one mutation or wild types it is very hard to conclusively say parthenogenisis occured, but in cases like this it is a viable theory.

BTW, sorry for the bad spelling/grammer I typed this kind of fast.
