Just an interesting story thought you would all like to hear. I bread a 2001 NERD 100% Het Carmel male to 3 normal females. I got 3 clutches, 4,5 and 7 eggs. All hatched, all are females. I know I know, I sexed them wrong right? I popped and probed multiple times. I even had another breeder sex them and he came up with females as well. I went back to a clutch of 50% het pieds and used the 4.1 as a control.
No matter how you slice it, I got all females. I was hoping for 4 or 5 to continue my Carmel project. Doesnt get much better than that.
Has anyone else had this happen before? I wasnt going to breed that male this year, but now I feel like I have to. What if he gives all females again? He would definitely up his own worth for sure.
