Thanks for the pattern info and compliment, Kelly!



I don't know if you remember or not but a few weeks before these eggs hatched I cut open one of the eggs that had gone flat as a pancake, thinking it was bad. It had a preemie in it and I posted about it, asking if anyone had seen anything like it.



Here's two of the pics I posted of it.













That preemie was aproximately 5 weeks old, 2 1/2 weeks premature. Seems like it's pretty safe now to assume that it was a labyrinth.



What's interesting to me is how the side pattern is pigmented but the top (back) isn't completely pigmented like the sides. Weird how the sides are first to turn color and then the back, instead of a gradual coloration/pigmentation of the whole body at the same time.



Just thought I'd share that.



Take care!
