that's very interesting. i think every hatchling i've ever seen had the bug-eyed trait. good to know that i when i do get one it doesn't have to look like that.

When I got mine, I got them as babies, and I had to shop around quite a bit to find a pair without bug-eyes. I used to have a trio, but I lost the third one..."Frost" was her name...:sad:
