Help..what is this.

Even if the baby lives, I would NOT breed it back or even attempt to because of the kinking.

Best case scenario, re-pair them next season and see if another one of these comes out, but without the kinks.

It is certainly interesting looking. Reminds me of an extreme example of what people call a Leopard pattern.

Rotten luck with the kinking. Are you going to try and keep it alive and see if it functions normally ?

you should just let the lil guy be and how he grows, the kink may or not cause any problems. i still think it had sometihng to do with the incubation. and as Gale said above you prolly shouldnt try breeding him.

in the pics the sire looks like a typical pastel and the dam looks like a normal, he should pair them up again and see if something like this guys pops out again. but make sure his incubation is spot on to prevent something like this. if a healthy oddball pops out again then hopefully its male and you can breed it back to mom and see what happens.

awesome looking hatchling, just sucks about the kink.

I ask as I am wondering if this is incubation gone wrong or some kind of gentic thing.

Thanks for advice..

Ok im no expert but im going to throw in my 2 cents. The mother is a reduced pattern normal, the father is a pastel which looks like it has a granite spot in the back of his head. What if during incubation temps got a bit warm for a nite or cool, the baby was supposed to come out at as a pastel granite but temp..? n the granite freckles grew into a jaguar looking pattern???

Either way amazing looking creature.

Ada granite pulak doh..:O
