Mystery Lesser Clutch? Help ID?

Registered especially after seeing this thread! WOW, huge congrats mate :O

Thanks so much everyone for the great comments. I heard back from Ralph Davis the other day and he confirmed them to be Platty Daddys! And 2.2 to boot! Also have 1.1 "sibs" and 0.2 lesser. I couldn't be happier!

Wow! That is so awesome! Congrats :)

Congratulations!! That is soooo freakin awesome! :gj:

Congrats!

In this particular breeding you can't be sure the "sibs" are hidden gene carriers like you could if one parent was a platy. But they are still 50% chance hidden gene carriers.

and this is why i love snake breeding. you just never know what ya gonna get. Awesome clutch and awesome odds. Those are some beautiful animals. :gj:

I just found this thread and I have to say congratulations. What incredible luck and hatching out four no less, wow! :gj:

thanks again everyone. Randy i had been wondering that same thing but i'm pretty sure you're right about that. Since Mom was just a "het" that would make the normals 50% possibles. Also i've been looking at Ralphs page and i haven't seen him breed Platty x Lesser...although i'm assuming that this will produce Plattys, BEL(poss hidden gene?), lessers, and het sibs. Does that sound correct?

Ralph's page seems like it might be outdated. And either way, it's hard to follow.

I think Platty x Lesser Platty would produce all those, but only Platties if the Lesser is a hidden gene carrier, and it gets everything else right.

If I've followed all this right. Your normal was a hidden gene carrier, right? As was the Lesser?

Platty x lesser gives platties, BEL's, lessers, and "het platties." The normal would have been the only one with the hidden mutation. The hidden mutation would cause a lesser to display the platty phenotype.
