It's like that famous Robert Frost poem... nature's first black is red... nothing red can stay... awww, but that messes up the whole rhyme scheme. Anyway, this is by far the most unusual hatchling this year; a few others have one or two aberrant triads or crossovers, but nothing like this. My female breeder had a partial "Inca" pattern as a hatchling, and there are usually a few aberrant hatchlings in each of her clutches. Here's a shot of her from '02 as well as a few of her more unusual offspring from years past...
Cher in 2002
The 2005 clutch, aberrant female in the foreground. I gave her to my Dad, so if "Spot" is a male, he may be playing "sister twister" with her in the near future.
A 2007 hatchling
2008 yearlings, unsexed, may keep the aberrant one if it's a male and "Spot" is a female. I'm hoping that's not the case, though, since it would delay the breeding project a year or two.
Even though it won't be for sale, I'll still bring it down to Manchester to show off... NEXT Saturday! See ya!
