Exciting news...

...for me at least. I thought I would share with the forum also. I just hatched out clear nailed hypos without even trying. I always suspected the father of being hypo, but could not be certain of his lineage. I got him in a trade from a pet store I deal with. The mother is an orange/peach female I held back from last seasons breedings. Out of 26 babies, 9 hatched out as clear nailed hypos. I flipped when I opened the incubator, as I was not sure what I had, but i could see clearly that some of the babies were different than the rest. It's like night and day...the hypo babies are so light colored in comparison to thier sibblings. The parents must both be hets for this to occur. I will try and get decent picks up tonight.
