A friend of mine hatched out a clutch of burms.
Some of the babys are looking very lightly. What do you think?
Thx for reply

Thats looks awesome! I love the stripe! What are the parents?

It's kind of hard to say. WHat were the parents ? They could be het for something because of the bright coloring and light sides. My dh het clutch that just hatched, alot of the normals have the same coloring and a few are dark. So the others are positively het for something but really can't be sure till you grow them up and prove them out.

It looks a lot like my girl. She was in the tub with albinos and albino labyrinths (and one granite) babies of the same age when I bought her, so I assume they were all clutch-mates.

I'm not a genetics expert, but I was told that sometimes albino hets turn out lighter.

In any case, I had to take a double-take to make sure that it wasn't a photo of my burm when she was younger. They look almost identical.

Thats a good looking snake. You should really find out what its het for. It is a really good looking snake. What did you pay for him?

I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was in the $90 range.

Not bad. Good looking snake once again! Definitely has some good genes.

the stripe down the tail, and the pattern on the back reminds me of Natalanesis.

Nothing about the burm looks afrock at all. But burmese do have markers sometimes. Not anything like yelloowbelly BP just small visual indictations. Example being, het ablinos tend to be lighter in color, het granites tend to have the "puzzle like" pattern. And het labys/greens tend to have a real "clean" pattern. THis isn't set in stone but it does happen. I may be wrong,its happened before. Overall great looking burm!

I would agree with the opinions so far. Im no Burmese expert...yet...haha..but i've seen just about all different kinds of morphs and i would agree that there aren't really any patterns in him/her that would allow one to assume that there are any markings from a ancestry of afrock. Afrock patterns are not hard to spot. Look on other Burmese forums and you'll see what im talking about. Nice looking burm however. I love the "normals" and own a double het...green/alb. Take care and have fun with that Burm~!

Looking at it once again....there might be lab in it somewhere because of the stripe on the neck but who knows. It also shows maybe a little granite. Definately a good project. I would match it with a triple het or something and go from there. Anyways.....what about the rest of the clutch. Post some more pictures of the rest of them. Its easier to see by looking at the entire clutch. Take care!

I see a granite influence.
