    Talking Calico debate

    Ok i know everyone thinks their normal is calico w/ a little
    I bought this normal female about a month ago loved the white flames on the side and when i got her the white wasnt jus flames it bloched every black intersection on her body...
    But still didnt wanna get all excited but i noticed when she shed that the black down her back was getting major blushing started appearing...
    Well anyways i contacted the person i bought it from and come to find out the Sire is a calico well anyways tell me what you guys think I spent 25$ on her....
    Here is the original pics of the baby and low white calico sire....
    Dont have a camera to take a better pic right now...
    The white is even heavier on the other side of her...





    The low white Sire

    That white on the side of her would be pinker if she was indeed a calico.

    Re: Calico debate

    On Calico hatchlings the white starts out as pink and turns to white with age. I have seen with my calico clutches that the siblings to the calicos will have a very similar pattern to the calicos, but will be normals. I produced a clutch of Calico Ybs this year and the Yb siblings have very similar patterns but no pink in the lateral pattern. Here are a couple of pics to look at.

    So only the bottom one in your pics is a Calico? Correct MKHerps?
