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?
