My one female, a reduced pattern normal, threw four reduced babes last year, in her first breeding season.
I have no doubt she throws genetic reduced offspring, but figured I would give another season before assuming anything, as last year she was paired to my enchi who is very reduced (95%).
So this year I paired her with my Fire male, got six eggs, and have been itching to cut, and tonight came home to find one had pipped.
The fire male is about 95% reduced, but did just throw a clutch of very busy patterned babes, so I was very curious to see the results of this clutch...
Needless to say I am pretty excited about this clutch and cannot wait to see them come out.

PS: The one that pipped is a non-reduced normal.
