I thought it may have been temps but I tried 3 years in a row, and I had many other eggs many in the same box. But only the Hypo everglades gave me consistantly kinked babies. Whats weird is that even with a WC yellow which should not have had the same inherrently defective genes I got mostly kinked animals. I still have the Male and a pair of his offspring a female with no visible defects and a male with one slight kink. I bred them together last year and they had a small clutch of 6. Two were hypos both kinked one never made it out of the egg. The other was slightly kinked and had severe problems shedding. It died after a couple months. The others were all kinked. The hypos looked real nice too, color wise. In fact I did breed the female(No kinks)to a WC male Yellow and she laid good eggs. I hope they come out with no kinks,but we'll see. I also have some Everglades not related at all to the hypo male. Will you still say that if the Normal Everglades have no kinks and the outcrossed yellow x Hypo Everglades still have kinks?
