So, my first clutch of the year was a melanistic, granite, looking normal female bred to a male Mystic and a male Jigsaw Blast. I got 5 eggs and 1 slug. All 5 eggs hatched. There was 1 male normal, but he has since been sold. The remaining 4 are a female Mystic, a male Pastave (Pastel Mojave), and 2 male Jigsaws (Mojave Pintsrtipe). The female Mystic, male Pastave, and 1 male Jigsaw all seem to have a darker color to them and also a pixilated look to their pattern. I would love in put from you guys. I am trying to determine if the mother's pattern is a gene, or just a line breedable trait. I know this is just the first season of her producing, and I plan on holding back the female Mystic and the male Pastave for sure (he'll breed back to mom when he is the correct age and size), and may hold back the darker Jigsaw, but I want to keep my collection small, so don't want to hold back too many.
