I'm not going to argue, you hit 7 morphs out of 7 eggs with no super.

Congrats and good luck.

Might try Vegas with those kind of odds going your way. lol

Nice babies!

Perhaps someone could explain what exactly a GBB is. I guess I'm not up to speed with this particular morph. Is it that they don't have back spots, or at least, fewer of them? Does it have to do with blushing, or a lack of?

Genetic Black Back

Nothing is showing up, Heather.

Well, the problem with the definition is that it can refer to different "morphs".

Proven morph genetic black backs would be Het Red Axanthics.

Others would be considered animals that relay the trait of Black Back-ness.

Because of the ambiguity of Black Back-ness, it can really be any animal with a Black back. It just depends on who you talk to, which is where this debate about the animals in the thread is really stemming from.

[Jay_Bunny]

Oh sorry. When I responded to you I thought you tried to post a pic and Genetic Black Back was what you were posting. I knew that GBB stood for that. So it is basically an animal that has a black back and the definition of a GENETIC black back, varies.

[LadyOhh]

Yep!

And I thought you wanted to know what a GBB was. LOL.

No worries.

From what I've been able to find out, and from the looks of this clutch, like heather said, if it's not a het red or red ax, it just means a black back pattern that will be passed on to the babies in varying degrees. I did talk to some breeders about these and their own experience w GBB in comparison to het red. The GBB do tend to affect the pattern in ways other than just a black back. I'd compare the pattern to het Russo. Excessive alien heads, key holes, flames, blushing, etc..

According to NERD and Corey Woods, some GBB lines do have a super form which would just be a much more pronounced and complete black back with more contrast.

Since the age and origin of the female of this clutch was unknown, I won't know more until I breed back next season. I guess it's possible that female is actually the super form considering all the babies got those traits. I'd be more willing to believe that if I'd bred her to a normal instead though.
