Not a lucy, definitely not a crystal, or even a nice clutch of pastels but I'm just as excited about this hatchling. I was only expecting hets / possible hets. So imagine my surprise when on day 60 I cut open this egg.

Here's the same image but slightly overexposed. You should be able to see that this snakes head is completely black and white and only black and white. I wasn't able to get a good shot of its body but it looked the same. In the areas where it should have yellow/gold it was grayish tan colored. For now, all I can say is that this is a project. This is a different clutch and I will have to raise them and do some more breeding.
One of the siblings has shed out and looks more normal but its first shed was crystal clear with a very pinkish red tone. See that post below with the subject line: "Have any of you ever seen this before?" I would have expected the first shed to look more yellowish.
