Funny thing about this clutch was that it was not the typical "box-of-thayeri-eggs" so to speak. Everyone of them VERY closely resembled both adults (and three of the grandparents) in ground color and pattern (dorsal and ventral).
With my first collection of thayeri I hatched out a few clutches from 1999 to 2005.....Some of the '00 and '01 offspring were somewhat similar to their parents, but when these babies had babies some of them were the spitting image of their grandparents.....
Alot of recessive genes going on with them especially when breeding siblings.....
I enjoy the "box-of-chocolates" alot, but I do have some nice Ruthveni & Melanistic Thayeri projects that come straight from the motherland....untainted with any other locale or strain.....
Tell me what you think of an almost solid black ventral pattern.
I have two females showing this trait.....
Again...thanks for the input Jim.
