I have posted several pictures of these animals before, they hatched out from a Wild Caught gravid female from Okeechobee Co. Florida. Six of the baies looked like textbook Anerythristic A animals the other ten were normal. As they have grown the blotch color has changed to the color seen here in the photo. These animals are siblings from this clutch. One animal has died, I have 2.3 left and will be breeding them to each other, to the normal colored siblings and to Anerythristic A, B (Charcoal), and Caramel animals to see if this appearance has anything to do genetic wise with those mutations. While they are not all that exciting looking themselves, imagine these guys as Amelanistics, Hypomelanistics, Motleys etc. I think they have the potential to produce some really different looking "versions" of the existing morphs. Hope you enjoy the photos..

I think they are pretty awesome looking themselves :p . Have ya considered the fact that they may be an Everglades (or another Florida rat)XCorn cross? the lighter one has a "rat' look to it. Definately would like to see some other opinions on that. Either way I think they (esp the funny lookin' one lol) are some shweet lookin critters. Hope ya keep postin' pics as they grow and peace...Chris
 
I remember these from a post on fieldherpers.com a few months ago. I agree the head pattern looks off, but it seems unlikely that they are hybrids due to the ratio of hatchlings appearing that way (6/16 was written) and the fact that expression seems to be on/off. Of course, that could be explained if the hatchlings are the result of 2 different males.

Also, wouldn't a yellow rat hybrid at least partially develop the black stripes characteristic of the species? (I don't know, but it sounds like it would)

But boy, they have changed a lot in appearence.

For reference, here was the pic posted of the hatchlings:

They really did look anery before. And the head patterns seem more 'normal', but maybe that's just the way it looks.
 
I'm not hip on my Florida geography, so I don't know where Okeechobee Co. is exactly, but what keeps these from being Miami's or Crimson's? The one has really thick black borders as well giving it an Okeetee look (not from Carolina of course, but still has the look).
