I had a group of Corns hatch out on Jan 23/24th. I didn't quite know what to expect because the mother's gentics are simply not known.
Father is a Ghost Het Amel. I can’t find his pictures at the moment. But he did sire these babies last year with an Anery Motley female. There were 2.3 hatchlings with that female. 1.0 Snow, 1.3 Anery and 0.0.1 Snow that died full term about a week prior to hatching.


Here is a picture of mom.

Here's a pic of them hatching after the first 4 hatchlings and eggs had been removed.

There were 16 eggs, 5 were slugs, 11 of 11 good eggs hatched. 2.9 hatchlings emerged after 6 weeks at 80 degrees F. There were 1.1 somewhat normal/dark hypo looking sibs, 1.6 Albinos and 0.2 oddballs.

Here's a picture taken after their first shed. I'm showing it to you this way on purpose so you can see some of the differences between the siblings and so I can differentiate which are which.

Here's a close-up picture of the ones in the foreground. I'm Calling these the "Frosted" Orange morph for now (just a name).

Here are the ones in the background. I'm calling these the Orange "Crush" morph for now (just a name).

In the two pics the "FO's" and the "OC's" dont appear that different but in person you see a big difference in the amount of orange that the "OC's" have on their sides. The color down their backs is also a very distinct Light Orange compared to the "FO's" that have more of a Burnt Orange tone to them. This my indicate that they may turn more red as they age.

Now for the midground siblings. These are the ones that I'm really questioning. There are two Normal(ish)/Dark Hypo siblings. The other two lighter ones I'm going to refer the as "Ultra Ruby" for now. These look like some type of Hypo Miami Phase except, they also apper to have the Ultra Gene. They have Ruby colored eyes like Ultras have. They may end up just being Ultra Hypos.



Here are a few more pics with the two types side by side.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks and enjoy.
