    Let's just go with normals and it being a phenomenon...No one wants to be known for creating a new line of ugly anything

    Seriously though, I'm sorry! That sucks big time. But at least they're healthy babies!

    I don't want to discount the possibility, but, genetically, shouldn't a silver bullet only produce cinny's and pewters?

    Could you have possibly switched labels on clutches by accident? What was she bred to five years ago? Are they all females by chance?

    Maybe mom is a genetically dominant normal morph. Or a Super Normal!

    Sorry about your odds, but the babies are cute classics. I'm glad you documented this because now we know just how long they can retain sperm, unless its some sort of ball python immaculate conception. (I think some lizard species can self-propogate, but IIRC they're clones, not genetically diverse offspring).
