The WTF Project (WTF Morphs): Looking For Thoughts

[Joshua Jasper]

Hi everyone, I am looking to get thoughts on our WTF project. At this point, it is just fun and not genetic although there are some consistent traits that is causing me excitement and/or confusion depending on the day. Don't dismiss it as a Paradox quite yet, especially considering the pairing and at least hear me out.

The WTF was produced in November 2013 from a Mojave X Pinstripe pairing. Both were purchased from NERD, the Mojave had been there for a few years to be a breeder but ended up never producing a clutch and I purchased him at breeder size. The clutch results produced 1.1 Normal, 1.1 Jigsaw, 1.2 Mojave, and 1.0 WTF. Here is the pairing that produced him:




Imagine my surprise when I started seeing this when opening the eggs:


My initial reaction was pure excitement, however disappointment as I was convinced he was some kind of weird one off due to either incubation (no issues noted), development, or some weird paradox (although the pairing does not support a paradox white snake like this). However, as I started to look at the siblings in the clutch I started to see some consistency, especially in their eyes. The following are all siblings of the same clutch:





Then I looked at a couple from a different clutch; different Dam but same sire:


That Mojave from the different clutch (same sire) is really telling, plus some of the traits in that normal girl.

Here are updated photos of the WTF, and some comparing him to the sire:



So...in short, what do you guys think of him and the project? Possibility of genetic? Do you see common traits among the offspring of that Mojave sire? Am I grasping at straws?

The sire and dam that produced the WTF are currently breeding and she is near ovulation so hopefully I will have more information soon. Exciting no matter what the outcome, and he is a stunning, one of a kind animal regardless if it ends up genetic or not.

So...thoughts?
