Breeding was my G-Stripe male to a CBB Normal female. Did the same pairing last year resulting in 5 good eggs: 4.1 Normal Hets.
Same pair again produced 5 eggs this year, but 3 went bad early on. The remaining 2 looked fine until 5 days ago when 1 completely collapsed. The one good remaining egg pipped today (normal Het) so I cut the collapsed egg and found this:
Obviously a perfect G-Stripe fully formed dead in the egg. Besides being bummed at losing what looked like a very nice animal, how did I get a Homozygous G-Stripe?
I'ver heard of Parthenogenisis, but wouldn't that only happen if the FEMALE was the Homozygous Morph?
