I know this has been brought up before but do Super motleys just not survive? or does anyone have a pic of a larger one? all I have seen were neonates

Thanks

All they need is to be outcrossed more, and they'll be perfect!

That's the answer everyone wants to hear/believe, which is why it keeps getting brought up. I've layed it out from personal experience too many times, so I'm not even going back into it, sorry. However, I will mention that out of the ones I've produced, those that were born with "normal" looking heads were the first to die, while not one of the motleys died. Why do both lines produce the same defects? Why don't you see more? The answers are obvious, people just don't want to believe them.
