WTH??? Bad Luck??!!

So I have this mojave..... Wondering if he is a mystic. I have been wondering for a while because he is not getting lighter like all the mojaves I see.

And I bred him with a normale female. 7 Good eggs.....
This is where it gets funny. All the hatchlings look like this! All very heavily banded.

Bad Luck? Or something Funky?

LOL! I dont know what that is!! haha! wow.... I am gonna say some funky bad luck....

Breed him to a Mojo and see what happens. Not sure on the kiddos there.

Thanks Guys. Yea im not sure whats going on either. Ill have to see what they look like when they shed out.

Looks like bad luck to me. I had 7 eggs from a pastel clutch - 5 were normals, the entire clutch was male.

That sucks! My Axanthic X Normal clutch gave me 5 Het axanthics. Either way im going to keep the females from the Mojo clutch to see what happens with them.

I actually really like the baby in the last picture - cool markings. :)

Mojaves vary from one to another some are darker than others, same for Mystic I have seen some dark mystic and light ones.

Do you have a picture of your mail in natural daylight?

One good way to distinguish Mystics from Mojaves is by the color of their side, Mojave have a green hue to them that Mystic do not have.

That pic is in daylight. Cloud went by and shaded some.

That outside pic looks a lot like tungsten lighting? Try getting a shot that shows his true colors well enough to be able to spot minute differences (i.e. green hue) which can only be seen in clear, bright photos.

By the way, I think those babies are gorgeous! :gj:
