Here's a link to the first thread after they died on the Clark forums. In it there are pictures of the dead babies. Truly a shame. In attempts to prevent just this scenario I emailed Moe a month before the eggs were due to hatch and warned him about the lack of egg tooths in hybrids and that he would need to candle them every day to detect movement and would have to cut them out himself in order for the babies to make it out alive. Apparently he just didn't candle them soon enough or make it in time with the scisors. The babies are obviously full term and drowned in their eggs.

We are currently working on this project and have gravid tiger retic females bred by patternless rock males. We hope to successfully produce these and tiger retic/rock hybrids het for patternless in 07. Irregardless of our future success Moe was the first to produce this hybrid. It's irrelevant that they didn't survive.
