    Napalm -- 2nd Gene Discovered???

    I have suspected that the Napalm founding male carries a second gene. It may have shown itself.

    "Quick and dirty" pics are hatchlings from a 2 egg clutch fresh from egg. Breeding was Napalm x CH dinker girl. The mom is different looking -- but not extreme or a whacked-out Granite-type animal.

    Below are 1.1 -- the male looks to be a Napalm Granite for lack of any better working name. The girl seems to be a Napalm that has adopted mom's pattern and neck fork.

    Interesting to see the boy age/color-up. Needless to say I hope to grow him up quick and pair him with some ladies in hopes of figuring out... WHAT HIS DEAL IS!!!!

    Mom was a first time breeder (3-4 years old I would guess) and laid 3 eggs and 4 slugs. These were the 2 survivors and are 100% perfect.

    The 3rd egg was kinked severely mid-body and had no eyes and a tweaked mouth. He is no longer with us. She was Napalm Granite in color and pattern --although not as extreme as the male.

    I hatched 3 random SEVERE kinkers last season -- each in a different clutch. This girl was my fourth. I know it just happens sometimes, but I feel so bad for them.
