hypo heads

Lindsay Sep 05, 2007 05:33 PM

just hatched this clutch of hypomelanistic brooks. I think they are interesting in that most of them very little in the way of pattern or markings on the top of the head. Wide variation in the amount of orange/red pigment though. Some had that bad brooksi attitude and tried to attack each other while I took the photos.

Linsay,

I sent you a email regarding the one with the partial stripe down its neck (second pic and others). If it is a female i would like to get it from you.

very interesting hatchlings. I do not recall hatching out hypos with that much reduction in head pattern. are there other pattern or color anonamlies in there as well like striping and/or patternless ventrals, etc.? it might be worthwhile to hang onto some of those.
