>>I'm assuming you know the history of where they came from and this is a total surprise?

Actually...
Yes....I know that their parental stock came from 40 miles East of San Luis Potosi City in the state of SLP. (near the Valley of the Ghost)......

Robert Applegate acquired these wild caught mex mex and sold their offspring to a couple of folks I know. Robert never raised any up or line bred them to know that they carried this ontogenetic gene, but others called them light phase mex mex.

Tom Agosta eventually got ahold of some and Shannon Brown got some from him a few years back. Mine came from them. It wasn't a surprise to me....But it was a surprise to those that got their mex mex from Applegate years ago.....

And the gene is acting like it is codominant......should make it a little easier to make a black hypo-e and Ultra granite black Hypo-e.......fingers crossed for the next few generations.....
