Yes. The black/white bands do seem to be a bit thicker in her -- more like a Pueblan.
However...I was told that this male was a true "stand out" from the original clutch. Not all offspring looked like him. And both parents were purchased as 100% Pueblan. Is it possible that this really is a 100% Pueblan...just a really freaky one? Genetic anomoly? Locality?
It just seems to me that if both parents were sold as "Pueblans" and purchased at the same time from the same source, they probably WERE Pueblans. Otherwise they would've been labeled differently...correct? And if most offspring looked like "true" Pueblans, perhaps it's possible that this little guy just caught an odd gene somewhere. And since both parents were purchased from the same source, it's possible that both were related. "Simple recessive" comes to mind.
Who knows?
