PICTURES IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm so glad for you that this proved genetic. Do you have any ideas for what you want to call this gorgeous new morph?

I have some crappy news to report this morning. Yesterday both of the siblings to the baby dinker had piped and had their heads sticking out of their eggs. The baby dinker had made a lot of very small slits in its egg so I decided to make a small opening in the egg to help it out. I was obviously thrilled when I saw an exact copy of dad, it was alive, moving and looked beautiful. This morning it's head still wasn't out so I decide to lift the small flap I had made in the egg and the snake was in the same position as the night before, and it wasn't moving. Unfortunately, it was completely formed and dead in the egg. The snake looked perfect except it didn't completely absorb it's yolk. This is obviously the last thing I wanted to post this morning but I am still thrilled knowing this morph is genetic. The original Dinker, his siblings and half siblings from 2013 have all thrived and have been great feeders from the beginning. This years hets are all doing well and ate frozen thawed almost immediately after shedding. Therefore, I have no reason to think there is an issue with the gene, before today I was very impressed with how all the animals from this line have thrived and done well for me.

I am really excited with the potential of this pattern mutation and should be able to produce a small group next season. Some of his half siblings are already large enough to breed, 2016 should be very exciting. I have received an incredible response from yesterday's posts, I have barely been able to keep up with the e-mails and messages. I have also received quite a few people inquiring if I'm selling any, etc. At this point, I won't be selling any babies from this line until 2016. Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments!!

Aw no, at least you know it is reproducible, but its so sad to hear the lil one didn't make it.

I'm a little weird and would keep him Jared but that's just me I did it with a baby bearded dragon that didn't make it and lots of people love it
