Hey Paul,
Big Thanks for sharing this Sir!

Its very interesting to look at that jani for a few reasons,but mainly cos of the F I hatched and kept in '09 from F2 parents.
She has a very subtle and kinda reduced colour/pattern.

Also this season I hatched another (again from F2's)and it struck me as very 'hypoesque' straight from the egg.It's the only one like this from the 30 I hatched this year.
I'll grab some pics and post them up at some point over the next few days.

Looking forward to seeing those

ATL pointed out the small bit of dark coming through on some of the dorsal markings - probably not hypomelanistic in the classical sense, but still pretty interesting looking individual.

More fun variation. This little girl seems to be lacking most if not all red pigment. Black saddles all the way down and a very pale tail.....interesting.

Here's a pic from a few months back,I'll get some updated ones and some of the '10 over the next fews days.

More of presumably that same individual (source)
