SNOW!!!!
Well, there's a little bit of a story behind these guys...I only put mom and dad together twice, both are 3 years old and were virgins, and there was never any evidence of a hook up. They never appeared to go near each other, they were always sulking in opposite corners of their breeding tub. About 28 days after the first time they were together, mom gave me 10 good looking eggs (no prelay shed, didn't appear gravid, nothing). I didn't have a ton of hope for them, but incubation seemed to be going along just fine...hope grew. Well, on day 52, I decided to check on them and was greeted by a nose! It took 3 days for everyone to pip and emerge, and I haven't gotten a chance to take individual photos yet, but here are some from pipping and one from the tub they were all in while I set up delis and popped them all.
Mom and dad are an anery stripe het hypo and a ghost het stripe, so theoretically I should have seen 1/4 each of anery, ghost, anery stripe, and ghost stripe....not at all what showed up. Final total is seven ghost stripes (4 female, 3 males) and one each of anery (male), ghost (female), and anery stripe (male). The stripes seem to have taken after their mother, who is actually a vanishing pattern stripe (she really only has striping the first few inches of her body).
Anery stripe peering out of his egg.
First baby out, trying to convince his brother (the anery) to join him.

Enjoy!
