This little gal popped out this year with three spots within the open band between triads that look rather strange. Her 4 sibs did'nt show any hint of this trait. Parents were a anery male X tangerine female. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I've never seen anything quite like that. That's nuts.
If nothing else though, it just reinforces my plans to work with the couple of "spotted" hondos that I've gotten over the past year.

He looks like he could be a true blue motley.He has a solid belly as due the motley corns and boas.I hope he proves out cause that would look cool on morphs.

Hi Shannon

Hope that animal gets proven to be another mutation. It would definitely be interesting to see on the morphs. Btw, isn't that animal from Rick @ Renegade? I remember seeing those on his site before. Take care.

very common on the neck but I have never seen it down the back before,Thats very cool looking.

. . . of what Shannon was talking about. I've seen and produced a couple of these over the years but nothing like the animal that you have. You should keep it and find out if it could be reproduced by line breeding. You never know if they might have some more extreme aberrant genes in there. Take care.

It's interesting to me that strange little spots seem to show up on the neck more often than the rest of the body. Here's one of mine from last year. She's not nearly as dramatic as some other examples, but I thought she was kinda neat.
(sorry for the dark pic)

Thanks for the input...the plan is to raise her and bred her back to the anery father. There are 4 other sibs probably keep a pair. it should be interesting.
