I produced my first clutch this year trying to prove out my granite like female to my het albino male. i figured if she didnt prove Id atleast have some poss. het albinos. Come time for hatchlings to rise from the egg I notice something strange. Once they are all out they have dads head spot. Now he really isnt anything noticebly genetic besides the headspot stands out. Is this coincidence or maybe genetic? Whats your thought?

I had to do a double take on that one... that is interesting...
Perhaps it's like the 'boogers' or 'moustaches' .... ?
Interesting...

Genetic, It is all genetic. It is whether or not it is something worth breeding for is the real question. I see the head spot on 60% of my normal babies. Some more than others. When you see really odd markings like "clover leaves" on YBs then you may have something. Otherwise it may just be something in the line of a pretty head................Lee
lots of het albinos have the spot
het other stuff too....
wierd huh.

Well, is it not too weird that all 6 the offspring have this? I understand that there are lots of normals that have this but have you or anyone else bred their norms with spots and pass it on from their parents? I do notice that some lines of hets have this kind of representation like the ghosts and such. They are relatively dark like him and have not the usual patterning of normals but nothing abstract.
