well, unusual anyway.
I like this dark line and am developing a sustainable colony (with luck)
The little hypo at the bottom has a freaky solid reddish patch on her head. Typical head patterns on these hypos is a Y shaped splotch or partly solid splotch of some shade of red.

Wow!,......that bottom critter is just incredible looking. And the huge lump in it is indeed another good thing to see..

The head cap on that hypo. is unreal! Dell hatched one similar to that a year or two ago. Cool animals.

The dark beast if nifty, too. How old is it? Was it that dark when it hatched?

Huh, I'd forgotten about Dells shield head hypo....that's 2 known.
This dark line comes from a very dark female paired to an orange male (because I don't have a breedable real dark male). The male offspring are the only dark offspring so far and I believe this pictured male can breed back to the dam next season 2013. There was an almost black male produced in 2011 but he got shipped out - wonder what he looks like now?
Yes, they hatch in all shades of orange and red - the dark hatchlings stand out in the pile.
