Re: King of Dinkers update...
Post some updates on the babies when they hatch! It would be interesting to see if any of them have "markers" or abberant patterns (assuming they are heterozygous and this is genetic).

That makes more sense. For a gene to just pop out randomly from two parents unlike it makes you think it would be recessive. However if that is the case wouldn't you try breeding him back to the mother? Or is that one of the expected clutches?

Actually any type of genetic passing would make perfect sense. How do you think any base morph happened? A pastel was just born one day with none before it. Same with any other morph out there. It is a random flaw in the genetic code that makes a morph. I would go so far as to say that the first albino, pied, axanthic, and any other recessive gene first appeared as the homozygous form which then created the hets in the wild and not as 2 hets in the wild randomly mating and making the homozygous animal.

a little deception here, i was expecting your clutches result almost as much as my own clutches, you will need 3 more years to make sure about it. sorry for you. but better late than never

I did breed him back to mom. She laid a small clutch of 5 eggs and 4 slugs; however, 2 eggs went bad right away. So, this years hopes depend on 3 eggs...

What day are those eggs on?

Very true. I had never thought about that concept before but of course mutations had to pop out of somewhere at some point. But what determines whether this mutation is heritable or just an individual fluke?

If this trait is able to be inherinable would be seen through line breeding as is being done.
