Clutch #3 pipping mojos and more...

thanks dr. del that was my school lesson for the day.

congrats again PW on that clutch

absolutly incredible. good look figuring that one out. and congrats on the beautiful babies.

Very cool! Hope it comes out of the egg soon!

Jake - keep us updated, this is very exciting for you!!!

Thanks everyone! It was my understanding that paradox' are just random, and not genetic. I thought I've heard of a paradox albino popping up in a clutch of albino x normal, so appearently having one heterozygous parent that passes on the gene can also result in animals that are paradox' of the homo phenotype. Someone correct me if that's not right.

Here is a pic of the mom, which belongs to Jeff Flanagan, and the paradox head. 2 babies are out, so it shouldn't be long. So far it's one nice mojo and one nice reduced/banded looking normal from what I can see. I was really excited about this clutch because I really liked the mother of the clutch. If this is anything other than a paradox, unfortuneately, I lost the mojave sire late into the breeding season. Fortuneately if there is some hidden genetics at work here, we should have plenty of offspring from the mojo sire spread over at least 4 clutches. All three of Jeffs females laid good mojo clutches, each from only a single pairing in January. I'll be updating this as things happen.
