Chocolate Pin x Very Promising Female

RyanT Jun 25, 2012 11:38 PM

I had this clutch of 8 hatch last week from a male Chocolate Pin to a female I've been working with for 4 years to get good eggs from. I was hoping she would turn out to be a Chocolate herself (with the other possibilities being Mojave or Mystic) but from the results, it doesn't look that way. This is the female:

Here's the entire clutch all together:

Here are the 2 Chocolates and 2 Normalish looking ones. Both normals look exactly like the female, with the same coloration, pattern and blushing:

Here are the 4 that got the Pinstripe trait. Looks like 2 Pins and 2 ChocPins:

One of the ChocPins is really dark and striped, the Pins are very busily-patterned and the one Normal looks exactly like the mother. But I realize that that really doesn't mean anything. So is it really possible that she turned out to just be an unusual looking Normal? Just looking for other opinions. Thanks.

Could your chocolate pins maybe be jigsaws? I don't know whether jigsaws can reproduce themselves like some other double codoms, but that's what they look like to me. Dad too. That's my guess anyway. Nice clutch regardless.
