I recently hatched this little girl out of the only viable egg laid, in a clutch of 5, (4 slugs, 1 good) by a supposed "normal" female.

LOL!!!! I knew someone was gonna ask that. And since ommision is the same as lying (based on what I do for a living) I guess I should have volunteered this small detail...daddy's a PB and so this girl is het PB. But it's still interesting to me due to the fact PB is recessive, and the mother is supposed to be a plain jane normal. So I'm gonna pay closer attention to her from now on, because she is where this mystery lies.

I'll post a pic of her as a baby, and during the breeding as soon as I can.

Here's a pic of her at the end of last year

Reminds me of a flame type animal... hmm. whatever she it she is eating... so it looks

Very nice looking baby. Can you post pics of the breeders? They must be het for Hypo.

Hi Lu, and thanks...I think she's good looking too.

As far as the parents background...I know the PB male is NOT het for hypo. He's a 007 Line PB, meaning he's pos het for anery and/or T pos lav....but not hypo. But I initially thought too, the baby looked hypo(ish). I bought the female as a normal, and from a broker, and so her background is uncertain. Maybe she's a het PB? I really don't know at this point.

Here's a pic of the parents breeding, and another solo shot of the mother.

Hey Lu, I dug up a pic of the mother and clutch too

and of the mother again
