Well Here is a surprise

My "WC" abnormal corn that I asked about a few months ago gave me eggs. And these eggs started to hatch yesterday. Now I used a amel male for no other reason than I couldn't think of anything else to use. The first hatchling looked like a normal corn and like Zee that it what I was hopeing for. Some people said that the female looked like a yellow/red rat cross so I was hopeing for no yellow rat looking babies. I was going to look real close so as not to miss anything but the second hatchling was obviously differant. Not a yellow but instead a amel. Now this female was supposed to be WC like I mentioned but it was explained also where she came from and who "caught" him. Now a new morph being caught in the wild is like 100,000 to 1. A new morph with amel in its genetics being caught that did not have human hands in its history is like 1,000,000,000 to 1. I wish that was the case but much more likely this is another case of either lies or escape.

Ok the male I used is a old one I got from Pet.Co I believe and for the last few years all I bred him to where normals and amels know I see he has hypo genes. At least that is what I am assumeing but it doesn't explain the female. So far she is either a WC as I was told or a HET Amel, HET Hypo, and part yellow rat????? What next???? To strange

Some more have come out of the egg. Another hypo and more amels and nomals. One looks to have more yellow rat influance but is amel. I will try to get a good pic later. Here is what I have for now.
