He's really impressing me!

The last three Bell clutches bombed out on me so I'm yet to hatch another this season... Maybe I'll get lucky on the next MS het Blizzard 50% het Bell x MS het Blizzard 50% het Bell eggs? :main_laugh:

Thanks a lot you three!

Definitely, but I won't be selling any from this project until they are 2-3 months of age. This is because they can't be truly appreciated until you see a good amount of adult coloration and pattern.

Pretty cool huh?!

Although this is the first hatchling from my BSB* project I'm sticking my neck out and assuming the spotting/speckles is genetic (probably dominant). With that said, I believe this hatchling and his father show two pattern traits; speckled from the founding Mack Snow het Bell male and spotted from the founding Bell female...

Here's a spotted one without speckles...

And this hatchlings father with spots and speckles...

* BSB stands for Black Spot Bell... Since the name gets a lot of flack for really not fitting I'm thinking of changing it to Bold Spot Bell... :main_thumbsup:
