Ok, this is just speculation, but does anyone know if this could be a recessive genetic issue? What if both parents carry the issue, and they don't show it because it's recessive? I seem to recall reading about this somewhere before... statistically, if that were the case, not all of them should have the defect, but I have to wonder. If this is indeed a possibility, would it make sense to breed the parents again next season? It seems like you'd want to know if they were carrying this trait or whether it was just a random occurrence. I mean, nobody would want a recessive defect like that being spread around in their collection. To the best of my understanding, this is the first time these two have been paired up. Maybe the other animals these two may have been paired to previously just didn't carry the defect? Again, this is just a bit of guesswork and wondering, and of course it's not guaranteed genetic, but I do feel like I should ask about this.

Re: Not looking good.. Deformed hatchlings
Quote from Corey Woods: "I've had it happen here the odd time with clutches. Usually it's not just 1 in the clutch it's almost all of them. I've bred the same pairing year after year to see if it's genetic and it's not genetic. It just happens the odd time.
Most babies won't eat on their own. The best option, for multiple reasons, is to put them down."
Regards,
Corey

Re: Not looking good.. Deformed hatchlings
Thought I'd share my favorite hatchling of the bunch. Super Pastel Lesser?? Are those paradox markings on its lower half?
Babies just shed yesterday.

So far they don't move around much. They've only been in their separate tubs for a day so maybe they're just adjusting. We haven't observed them drinking. They don't appear to have tongues. We put a live hopper mouse in each of their tubs and they were not interested/frightened by it. We don't have high hopes but will try one more feeding this week. We're not sure if they can even smell the prey.
