Do you know what genetics are involved? Congratulations.

Very cool!

Yeah, I'd like to know exactly what the parent's lineage was too if you know. Were they both mosaics?, and did they have anything else going on recessively that you know of?

cheers, ~Doug

The female is hypo floridana and male is also hypo but I believe with Goini influence. Non of the parents are visable Mosaic.
I'll post a picture of the 2 tomorrow.

Cheers

These are the adults, must have some hidden genetics.
Always a puzzle when you dont know the exact history of the animals.

This is the female

Well, they seem to be of a hypo line, But those babies are displaying some interesting colors, and patterns. At least one baby looks like it may have some Mosaic, hard to tell. Hypos will sometimes throw aberrant patterns.

Interesting that this king has a dark head pattern and hardly no pattern at all on it's body......

Great looking adults and babies......

Hi,
At 28 Celcuis, but with the hot summerdays here sometimes reaches 30 here in gardenshed. So might have something to do with the short incubationtime. My Bulls also hatched after 50 days with no problems.

Thx
