Is this a normal or something more?
Hey! I purchased this guy as a normal double het axanthic/dg.
However he has just fathered a clutch that i have just cut the eggs of and atleast one of the babies has a weird blade like pattern to it.
I then noticed that he has this same pattern and must have passed it on.
Lack of real alien heads / reduced pattern, and blade like striping on the dorsal.
He was paired to a het desert ghost female. And she does look completely normal.
Is there anyway for me to prove out what this trait is or is it just a funky normal which passed the same pattern on?
Thanks in advancehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...88aefaeb9a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5a8a5a29d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...11522f8824.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0fee1b466.jpg

Probably just Normal. Sometimes non visual hets look different. I’ve seen it a lot on morphmarket. Certain hets have slight visible differences than normals.

Pics of parents might help too

Thanks. I guess it could just be a different looking normal. Just seems strange that the hatchling (that's still currently in the egg) looks to have a similar pattern.
I've attached a photo of the mother to the hatchlings. And the father in in the photos above (the one in question).

Both parents have an interesting pattern, this one even looks like it could be genetic black back. I would say you're going to have to wait for the hatchlings are out to see if either have anything that was passed down.
I love DG so I'm pretty excited to see what you get, make sure to post pictures of the hatchlings when they are out.

I thought the same. But I'm unsure of how to actually prove out what exactly it is if they have passed it on to the hatchlings.
I'm hoping to get atleast one desert ghost. But I did pair a gravel to her initially so I'm not sure what I'm going to get. And obviously the odds are low anyway on het to het.
The clutch was 5 eggs. And I'm still waiting for them to come out of the eggs. Day 60 today. I cut on 55.

The first one come out the egg today.
I'm new to all the morphs, but is this a desert ghost or is it just a funky looking normal like it's father?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91276cc03c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3d237f2b05.jpg

Re: Is this a normal or something more?
I agree DG is tricky to I.D
It just seems to have a bold pattern. But because the parents, especially the father also have odd patterns it's confusing me.
I'll have to wait for that first shed and then hopefully I can figure it out.
What traits am I looking for to know for sure if it's a DG? There seems to be so many variations when I look about online.
