My first clutch of the year is hatching out finally. As of now, two of them are out, while there are 3 more peeping.

But this one little guy............

OK here are the parents:

Dad (Bryan) is a definite genetic granite.



This is mom (Brianna) who is being bred back to dad. I assumed she was normal because though she does have a minor amount of granite speckling, I didn't consider it enough to count.



Now I'm beginning to wonder.

While 2 of the eggs died (one never developed and went bad while the other baby got tangled in his umbilicus), all 5 of the surviving babies will be granites.

This is one of the two that is out, and three of the others appear that they will look similar to this one:


Same baby, belly shot:



And then there's this guy, who is just insane-looking:







Any ideas? I'm wondering if the granite maybe has a super form? I've produced granites from Bryan before, but this is the first year I could breed daughter back to him, and I've never produced anything like this before.
