Wow, they are different looking. How are these hatchlings in general terms (are they weak or strong hatchlings)??
You'll have to keep us all posted on how they develop.

They are all healthy and strong so to speak, They average around 16 grams in weight, with the smallest being 12grams and the largest 21 grams. Half the clutch have already started feeding. So look forward to see how they develop.

Heaps stoked for you mate. Definately a winner of a line to work with! I'll be watching and waiting to see what comes from the pairing in years to come.......I'm sure whatever comes out will be even better!
Congrats.

Thanks Den,

in the Aussie "morph era" you could start a your personal bloodline mate with that marbled MD I guess. In the next 3 years you'll prove if it's genetic or not.
My congrats

That would be nice Stefano, one can only hope.

Hummm, I don't know Hugsta....
The ratio hatched, SCREAMS simple resessive mutation.
If it would have been an incubator problem, you would see the effects over the entire clutch.
You go!!!!!

It does certaily look like a recessive trait, but until proven I will have an element of doubt. You would think you would see either more or less with an incubator problem, but the odds point to genetic mutation.

OR, if the parents produce the same results next year.

Yes, this thought has crossed my mind and the female is already in good condition for this coming season, so fingers crossed.

Looks like a hypo or something doesn't it.
Maybe like some coastals though it gradually gets it patterns and colours as it grows, time will tell, looks hot nice work

Not sure if I would call it hypo, still has black in it, although reduced. But it still seems like en equivalent amount of black in it for the amount of patterning, more patternless then hypo I would say Pugs. JMO. Will be interesting to see if it gains black like carpets do as you mention, although I have my doubts. Will have to wait and see.

awesome, would you call them lucistic?
|
No, luecism is a form of albino, but luecistic animals have no skin pigmentation at all and are pure white animals without markings and either blue or black eyes.
Thanks everyone for the comments, I hope it is something that proves to be genetic but only time will tell. looks like I need to make more cage space for this project as well now....LOL.
