    Hypo clutch....

    My latest clutch just shed out so here are some pics.... I'm a LITTLE bit confused.
    This was a het hypo X het hypo breeding. The egg laying itself was kind of odd because
    the female never wrapped the clutch and none of the eggs adhered to each other.
    When I opened the tub the female was in, all the eggs rolled up to the front to meet me.

    The eggs looked good, but it's usually not a good sign when the female refuses to wrap
    them and considering that they were rolling around loose and none of them were stuck
    to anything I didn't have real high hopes, but all of them candled good so I incubated them.
    They all continued to look good until hatching. Out of 5 eggs I got 4 live babies. The
    5th one I cut open and found a fully formed perfect baby that had been strangled by its
    umbilical cord.

    None of these look like hypos to me, but of the 2.2 I ended up with, one looks a little bit
    different. She has a big spot on the top of her head and is overall lighter in color but also
    has the coolest looking silvery eyes. I believe she's just a random jungle ball and not a hypo
    but I'll be holding on to her anyway just to see how she turns out.

    Even though I missed the hypos this year, I'm not totally disappointed. These babies look pretty
    nice all on their own. The parents both have a lot of blushing and the babies seemed to
    inherit a bit of that. Anyway, here are the pics







    Here's one more of the little oddball. I think I'll call her Oddrey (or Audrey, get it?).


    Well, maybe next year I'll hit on the hypos.

    That's a very interesting dot on the top of her head... not sure I've ever seen anything like that before.

    She is interesting looking! I'd definitely hold her back just to watch her mature if nothing else.

    Re: Hypo clutch....

    I agree on the jungle very nice.

    I hate to sound morbid but did you get pics of the dead baby just wondering if it could have been a hypo ??

    I actually did get pictures about a week ago when I cut the egg open, but they didn't turn out very well. Kind of dark.. However, it was fully formed and looked just like the rest of these so not a hypo.
