Hatched an amazing Paradox Jigsaw!!! Perfect clutch!
Our third and final clutch of 2013 hatched over the past weekend and was a Pinstripe female paired with a Mojave male and Pewter Blackback male. We came home from vacation and found seven of the eggs had pipped so decided to cut on Day 53. The first 9 were pretty routine, with 2 Jigsaws, 2 Pinstripes, 3 Mojaves, and 2 Normals. But then I cut the tenth egg and I found this:

We ended up getting him out of the egg since something seemed off and sure enough his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. He untangled pretty easy and took a few days to finish absorbing.
However, he came out today and this little one is absolutely incredible! Here are some photos just after coming out of his egg:

The only thing that I can think of is a Paradox Jigsaw, but just absolutely crazy looking. This Mojave has been known to throw crazy babies before. Here is his Mojave baby from his last clutch with a completely different dam:

0.2 Jigsaws
1.1 Pinstripes
1.2 Mojaves
1.1 Normals
1.0 Paradox Jigsaw

Thanks for looking everyone! Would love feedback on the crazy baby and if you think my assumption of a Paradox Jigsaw is right :gj:
Re: Hatched an amazing Paradox Jigsaw!!! Perfect clutch!
I am so confused on this one though...but how could it be a Paradox super? The Dam was a virgin and she was paired only with a Mojave and Pewter Blackback, neither would produce a BEL when paired with a Pinstripe. Hmmmm....such a conundrum!! :confusd::confusd::confusd::confusd:
