This is the first clutch from a patternless normal het hypo hondo project I've been working on for about 12 years. The mother in the photo is only het hypo and not hypo. It's not a project that's worth much of anything except to me but I really like the patternless, only het hypo tangerine look.
I don't work on these types of projects in general but found this one interesting. It took quite a bit of selective breeding to get to this point.
I have one other almost patternless het hypo female about to lay also. Both were bred to a patternless hypo from the same lines.
At this point I'm hoping for at least a couple of het hypo hatchlings that only have the jet black head markings and no other pattern when they hatch.
The mother (pictured) had a slight bit of pattern on the lower body when she hatched but has lost all of it as she has grown, only leaving the tipping between where the bands would usually be. There were some hypos in the clutch she hatched out of but her head markings were JET black right out of the egg and still are.
