This week the first clutch of my balls began to hatch, for this year. As they came out of the egg i was a little bit confused, because four of them (six were hatched) are looking a little bit strange. Their complete bellys are orange and they even got, what some people would call a "Pied Marker". In the foto with the complete clutch you see the differnces between the four abberant´s an the two normals.

I have to say, that they are 50% poss het albino.

Unfortunately the abberant´s are all males and the normal´s are females!

I hope you dont mind

Try the same mating next year and see if you get any aberrant females. Then try father x daughter, mother x son, brother x sister matings. Good luck.

If one of the boys is ready next year i will breed him back to his mother and see what happens!!

But first i will try if i can get some females, in breeding season at the end of thie year!

I hope neither one of you mind. Out of curiosity, what program did you do your adjustments in?
