No, actually the complete opposite!


From my post:

The REALLY interesting link between these unique 3 females is ALL of them exhibit the same blotchy hypo (missing pigment) effect. However, NONE of them showed this appearance as neonates and ALL of them were labeled as phenotypically "normals" (non hypo)!

Most of you all know that Hypomelanistic Hobby Hondos look the BEST as neonates and darken with age, some almost look normal as adults. The Mega animals however, have the opposite occur.

So, the missing pigment does not present until some time later in their life.

Cool huh!?

Thanks for the kind words Ross!
