These babies are the result of a first time breeding Peanut Butter to Peanut Butter. I bred a male PB to a female PB. My past breedings of PB's have all been het to het or Male PB to female het.

rainer,
it is hard to tell with them in preshed, is it a 100% PB hatchling ratio or is this a co dom trait or ??

It was 100% PB hatching. The jury is still out wether its a co- dom trait or not. I don't see anything that looks like a "super" so I doubt it.

I was going to prove this trait out but had 1/2 of my eggs stolen along with a bunch of snakes. Among those eggs where the first breeding of a DH to DH breeding (PB X Anerythristic). There were 3 clitches so I was confident in showing what is going on. I was hoping to produce the first "Phantom" brooksi (a name that a friend of mine came up with) so we will not know what those look like as the person who stole the eggs most likely destroyed them. I know who took them but at this time I am not at leberty to say.

Also the PB seem to turn out everything from one end of the color spectrum to the other with everything inbetween. There is some weird stuff going on with this trait. A good example is the fact the PB bred to a amel red eye albino will turn out Jelly brooks . So the two traits are related somehow. Thats where the assumption that it si a codom trait.

Here is a pic of what the darker PB babies turn out like as they mature. I like the darker version better as they retain more reddish tone . The lavender babies end up with more yellow resembling a hypomelanistic colored "peanut" colour.

So the dark neonates get lighter and the lavender neonates get more pigment making them more PB or coffee type color.

This was supposed to go with the above post showing the darker versions and one adult light version of the Peanut Butter trait.

adult light (was a lavender neonate):

Two different dark version of the PB. These were real dark as babies. I think they lighten up nice:
