thanks Gregg,
This animal is a wildcaught, Its from a sample of 100 individuals from a single local. I photograghed most of them, and only kept a couple. Mainly from well traveled roads.
This black and white, now turning yellowish, is the only one like it. so normal is relative. Normal to you is not a known morph, and normal to me is a different thing. This is not normal for its local.
what it turns out like, i do not know, time will tell.
The spot it was taken from is known for having some true recessive morphs.
Again, time will tell.
there indeed was a lot if variation at that site, from very hypo animals to very whitish animals, to normal. With at least three basic pattern types. Small square blotched individuals, roundish blotched individuals and enlarged blotch individuals. With a whole range of mix and match colors.
If I can find the time I could post some pics. Thanks
