Spotnose? or More?

This boy is pictured next to his sister from the same clutch. He's much darker...... Do you think there is another gene at play here?

I would get in touch with Ben Renick he has his own line of "dark spotnoses"

I have a dark spotnose and a light spotnose, they both looks like normal spotnoses to me.

These are my two

So it could just be a difference within the mutation.

That's my guess. Spotnoses are still pretty new to the game so I suppose time will tell. I have noticed the dark spotnoses have funky patterns and the light spotnoses tend to have that stripe down their back. I've always found that strange...

Here are some updated pictures. He has some crazy "eyelashes" going on!! Almost like a het red.

WOW! I think I just fell in love with the spotnose gene, very cool looking guy you have there, can't wait to see his babies.

The Spotnose gene is hugely underrated imo...

Yeah there is definitely variation among Spotnoses, and I believe there are a few bloodlines floating around now.

Here is mine from Ben Renick:

I bet you are right about there being different lines out there.


To the OP, I'm curious if your dark spotnose changes as much as mine did color wise. He seems a lot lighter

Here is a picture of him 8 months ago
