    What morph is this? pics

    I recently picked this guy up with a bulk deal of BPs that i got. I wasnt sure what he was but i knew he couldnt be a normal. He was sold to me as a certain morph but i wanted to know what everybody else thought before i said what he was sold to me as. Thanks for the help!

    Re: What morph is this? pics

    did you pick him up as a supposed visual or a het? Because to my eye he's looking pretty normal. I don't really see any of the subtle morphs (fire, yellow belly, enchi, granite, phantom/mystic/whatever).

    What was he sold to you as?

    i know its got the coloration of a normal but ive never seen those "stripes" going across the body like that. Plus there are no markings what so ever on the belly. I know that the clear belly can be on some normals too but with a pattern like that AND a clear belly?? something has to be genetic or that is one big coincidence lol

    Normals vary, A LOT.

    Sometimes arrant patterns can be due to a lot of things in incubation. I've heard of a stressed egg theory--dehydrated or otherwise stressed eggs tend to produce babies that have strange patterns but they aren't inheritable.

    what was he sold to you as?

    Re: What morph is this? pics

    He was sold to me as a yellowbelly but i never thought he was. I was just hoping he would be something else, maybe he could prove out, idk.

    But I have heard of the whole stressed egg theory too. A friend of mine moved his eggs to a different incubator in the middle of incubation and all the babies came out with a full stripe down the back, none of it genetic though. So that couldve been the case with this guy

    Re: What morph is this? pics

    I've got a girl over here that looks just like that. She just went through her pre-lay shed so I'll know in a few months if mine is at all genetic. I've also seen a few similar ones that were said to be genetic.
