so i bought this normal female a few years back because shes one beautiful girl and i thought it may help the appearance of the hatchlings. so her first clutch hatched on the 13th and some of her babies are looking very similar to her.
so heres the momma
she has a nice reduced pattern and i guess shes banded and also has two yellow spots above her heat pits, one on each side of her face. i call them "foglights" because i think i have seen a similar trait described this way before.
some babies display these characteristics more than others and some dont. im guessing it could be a dom or codom gene and the ones that dont display it at all just dont have the gene.
so i only quickly snapped a few shots of some of the hatchlings while i was replacing paper towel and filling water bowls. please dont mind the bad quality of the pictures.
heres the first one
second
third
fourth
it doesnt seem to be anything too special but it is noticeable and inheritable.
