Green/Labyrinth Update! Long over due I know!

I've been getting asked about these ever since this clutch hatched out, but I wanted to be pretty sure of what was going on before I made another post. I originally thought the green/labyrinths were just greens, and the heavily spotted green in the clutch was a green/labyrinth. Seemed to make since as the green looked more like what I was expecting a green/labyrinth to look like. Shortly after things shed out I really started having some doubts, and could tell what I thought were greens with not spots looked very unusal. Then when my albino green clutch hatched which contained albino greens 50% het labyrinth it was pretty clear what I thought was a green/labyrinth was really a green when compared to the albino greens 50% het labyrinth with heavy spotting. So the next question was are any of them green/labyrinths? Maybe not having any spots dorsally or on the sides is an indicator of them being het for labyrinth? That isn't likely as the albino green clutch had nothing even remotely similar to what I thought were greens with no spots. Infact, I suspect the greens and albino greens with more spotting in the clutch will be much more likely to prove out het for labyrinth versus the greens with less spotting on the sides. I say the pictures speak for them selves, and you can decide what you want. As you can see they have a much different color than the green. Plus there are no spots on them what so ever, not even going down the back which I don't believe I've ever seen a green not have.

Thats amazing how the green and the lab completely take away the patterns... I can't believe this project has not been done before.. The sure are beautiful though.. Thanks for keeping us updated:gj:

Damn....they look better than I thought they would!!!!!

Like I said I, didn't expect them to look like this at all. Which is probably why I looked past them to start with...lol I'm glad I didn't sell them as normals greens. I had some offers as soon as I saw posted the first pics of them....lol Both are females, but I plan to breed one to a lab or albino lab prove without any doubt they are true green/labyrinths. Hopefully I get a bigger clutch this coming season and the morph ratio will provide some more proof as well.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I can't wait to see what the Albino/Lab/Green will look like.. I'm half tempted to hit you up on one of their clutch mates to breed to my Albino Lab one day... To bad I don't have the space needed:(

Albino labs are a favorite of mine. The ones in this green/lab clutch looked a bit different too. Or at least some of them did. Here is a big 02 female albino lab I've raised up, and here is an 08 albino lab 66% het green that I'm holding back.

Shes a monster:O They both look amazing!!! I picked mine up at the NARBC in Arlington.. Mine was one of only 3 there... I was kinda dissapointed that more breeders arnt working with them as much.... I'm glad you are and I am sure we will see more amazing things from you

that big albino lab female looks sweet:gj:

Looking good Ben. Thanks for sharing those killer pic's.

Ben-how come one of those green/labs were not in my box last week-I believe just an oversite on your part-feel free to send one next week!!!!!

Amazing looking burms as usual.
