I'm bored and I'm curious about why you can get different phased thayeri all from the same clutch? They are gorgeous snakes but can you ever be sure what's gonna hatch out of an egg?

Nobody else has replied, so here's my take.
You get different morphs from a clutch because each baby gets half of its genes from each parent. And the genes contributed to one baby do not need to be identical to the genes contributed to another baby.
You can predict what will turn out if you know what the genetics of the parents are. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about thayeri genetics and do not know anybody who does. So I'm no help to you there.
