Great litter. Looks a little premature due to the massive yolk sacs still attached. Make sure you keep them warm and humid.
The big issue here is this. Are both parents carrying the patternless gene? If so, why have we not seen more patternless produced from Harlequin to Harlequin. If not, what sex are the offspring. If the patternless are female, this might hint towards parthenogenesis. Not bad, but no entirely good as many parthenogenetic babies do not thrive.
