TIGRE PIED

reptileman1 Jul 16, 2004 05:07 PM

This little female popped out from a twin egg where one of the ova did not develop. She died within 24 hours. I thought she ws a Pastel Jungle when I first slit the egg and saw her fantastic pattern and color. She was cramped from the beginning with the dead ova in the shell to compete for space with and developed a kink over the cloacal plate. If she had lived she would have probably had trouble passing eggs. I still have the parents and cousins for future breeding so if this is a genetic trait I'll throw some more in the future. Wish me luck!

Looks like it just wasn't fully formed yet (died in the egg before it got all its color/pattern). Jyohe had a normal that looked similar but without the white (also a dead in the egg).

That might explain the pattern and color IF it hadn't hatched but it did and it's brother and sister both hatched the same day and look nothing like her.

crawled out of the hole YOU cut in the egg?????

......that isn't hatching if YOU cut the egg.....

looks weak and not formed as Chad said......that only explains color and shape...the pattern is there....it would have been a really sweet pied........

the one I had looked pastel ....bright yellow...and an odd pattern too maybe?....hmmmmm.....maybe .......I forget......his king cobra ate it......

........good luck......get a better non twin one next year.....nice pattern........

very similar to the Tiger Ball posted a few days ago that also died shortly after hatching, and it also does not look fully formed or colored yet. I believe it was posted by Damisn?
