    Calico debate
    Ok i know everyone thinks their normal is calico w/ a little
    I bought this normal female about a month ago loved the white flames on the side and when i got her the white wasnt jus flames it bloched every black intersection on her body...
    But still didnt wanna get all excited but i noticed when she shed that the black down her back was getting major blushing started appearing...
    Well anyways i contacted the person i bought it from and come to find out the Sire is a calico well anyways tell me what you guys think I spent 25$ on her....
    Here is the original pics of the baby and low white calico sire....
    Dont have a camera to take a better pic right now...
    The white is even heavier on the other side of her...

    That white on the side of her would be pinker if she was indeed a calico.

    On Calico hatchlings the white starts out as pink and turns to white with age. I have seen with my calico clutches that the siblings to the calicos will have a very similar pattern to the calicos, but will be normals. I produced a clutch of Calico Ybs this year and the Yb siblings have very similar patterns but no pink in the lateral pattern. Here are a couple of pics to look at.

    So only the bottom one in your pics is a Calico? Correct MKHerps?
