Her mom was het for albino, only one egg from this clutch was good, so she does not have a clutchmate. She is a pale one, incubated for female (did not use Tremper's method)

Hope so! 3 of het eggs that have hatched have been albinos, and the fourth looks like she will be a superhypotang, so doing pretty good in that respect!

Also the clutch pair hatched from eggs I thought were so dried out when I found them that they'd be ruined. They were half-collapsed and light as air. But the plumped up and both hatched healthy albinos (mom are dad are both albinos), so that was good too.

A note for those who find eggs a little "late". When I found these eggs they were half collapsed from being dried out, but obviously fertile. I thought they were probably ruined, but put a moist paper towel over them an incubated for female. The eggs re-absorbed moisture, plumped up, and BOTH of them hatched! Which goes to show you, when in doubt, INCUBATE!
