Today was the last day for the male to live.

Both my striped Mojaves are dead.

The normal sibling that I got in the clutch is still alive and angry =)
I will try to breed him with his mom to see if there might be something....

hey mattias, that really really REALLY sucks - i'm sorry for your loss.

Awe, dang. I was looking forward to seeing those little guys grow. Do you think they may have been doomed from the start? Maybe something genetic?

Is it just me or does the one on the bottom have some bug eyes.

Sorry to hear that.
One question. Did you cut these eggs. The reason I ask is because all three look very bloated, as if they were forced to uptake the yolk too soon. Additionally, the one on the bottom is deformed (looks smaller, bubble eyes, etc).
Very unfortunate. Hopefully next time will yield better results.

Sorry for the loss it sucks when babies die.

I had the exact same thing happen with my mojave clutches last year. i bred a very nice mojave male{he is striped but there are a few breaks in it} to two females. one was striped and one was not striped. all the mojaves from the striped mom came out fully striped and the mojaves from the non striped mom came out only partially striped. i posted pics a while back and the general concensus was that it wasnt genetic. i kept a striped mojave and a friend of mine bought the other striped ones. i am going to breed them soon to see if anything genetic with the stripe happens. good luck with future breedings but i dont think it is a genetic stripe mojave. i will have to dig up the pics so i can post them again. i will take a pic of my striped mojave so you can see him.
