please understand, Those type of percentages are academic period. That is, there is not set rule that works, If it was higher, then you say, oh I got lucky, if it was lower, you say, bummer that sucks.

The point is, those ratios are academic, those hatched eggs are not. As I said, if you receive many more or many clutches like that, then I would look at it.

For the rant part, Keeping animals, is not academic, its applied and always receives results. Such things as those genetics are academic and do not require results and actual results do not have to fit. They are indeed suggestions of possibilities.

Again, your 1.5% is academic. The results do not have to fit that. Also, all those names such as super and non super, are all products of the same set of overall genetics.

If your hatch was mind, I would indeed investigate. You have an opportunity. You can run with it, or make it academic.

As a field herper and keeper, academic thought is great, and should be kept in mind, but does not ever rule reality. Whats in your hand is reality, like phenotype, it doesn't matter what it is, if real, it is what it is.

In all reality, your results, BEAT the odds, therefore it is not that. If it keeps doing that, its supporting, its not that.

Those percentages are based on numbers, Say 100 or more, the higher the more accurate. But trends can be observed with numbers as low as 20 to 25.

If yours keep doing this, you sir have a new combination, with a new set of percentages. Whether you understand that or not, it is occurring on a regular basis with morphs.

All your inbreeding, line breeding, and morph breeding is exactly about creating new genetic combinations that have RESULT are real, the rest is academic.

A morph breeder is one that looks for traits that beat the odds. Best of luck
