Dinker clutch all out now..

[chago11]

They are all awesome. You can send me pastel #4 and all the normals.

The non Pastel babies do not look like Fires, and the Pastel babies do not look like Pastel Fires, so I doubt mom is a Fire or Fire related animal. Based on the pictures, I would be inclined to say some sort of wicked Granite, but mom really does not show signs of being a Granite. The fact that all of the babies are oddballs might be a fluke, or it might mean someone is a Super of some sort...which I doubt by the look of the mom. Might have been luck that they all came out oddballs. I would hold them all back, and breed a male Pastel cross back to mom to see what happens. They look like striped granites.....

I thought granite also, but, in order for them all to come out granite there would have to be a super like you stated. Either way they are hot.

That's an dinker project that is paying off big time! Very awesome. They look like a recessive Granite line type to me.

I'd hold onto number two as if my life depended on it.

I doubt incubation temperatures had anything to do with it, since they were stable at 89.1 F as you said. Besides, has anyone ever seen THAT as a result of a temp spike? Missing eyes, yes--stripes and granite markings in ALL hatchlings, definitely not.

Every last one of them has exactly the same 'something' going on. The odds of that being a developmental abnormality are just astronomical. It virtually HAS to be genetic.

What's so striking is that it appears to have been inherited by the entire clutch. Could dad be carrying something hidden?

I would buy normal looking ones like that any day very nice

Those are amazing babies! Does the dad have a stripe? They all have that really awesome stripe, way too cool!

Congrats!

Congrats!
Looks like your dinking is working!

[TheReptileEnthusiast]

Wow! If you happened to line up two snakes with the same recessive gene by chance, that is amazing. Breed a male back to mom as well as to a couple unrelated normal females. That should answer whether it is recessive or hidden. In other words, just keep dinking. Maybe throw the male at another pastel as well.

I was at Petsmart today, and one of their CH babies had the same type of markings your 'normals' do from this clutch.

Definitely some really cool snakes. I hope you're able to prove it out because there's definitely something going on with them!
