You mean...THIS special clutch????????

Now....let me explain....
2 Years ago...I had a clutch from animals..... I bought down here in South Florida....from a locale guy.
From this line of animals.......Tom Keogan hatched Axanthics (as he got some animals from this locale gentleman as well).
I suspected that I might have hets too.
Well, like I said.....I hatched a 100% clutch from my female 2 years ago.
I got NO Axanthics BUT......DID get 3 out of 8 "Black Backs"...(these are the ones with the solid black stripes down their backs)

O.K. Fast forward to this year....another 100% clutch....I was totally expecting to see more Black Backs.......and I get THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There was 3 in a clutch of 9....one of the Axanthics crawled out and died. It was badly deformed along the spine.

What do you guys think about this? Have any of you heard about het animals....not having "said trait" in the clutch....only to prove it later?

Needless to say....I'm still in shock!
