Question about RAPTORS

[Stamuetir]

Hey guys so this little RAPTOR just hatched a few days ago.

Shes my first RAPTOR hatchling, so I was amazed by the lack of pattern and the bright red eyes.
So my questions are, how long does it take the eyes to get that ruby color you always see in Raptors and when is some pattern gonna set in?

Thanks in advance.

The p in raptor stands for patternless.

 

[Stamuetir]

I am aware of that.
Sorry for making myself not clear enough.
The father is a patternless stripe raptor and mums tangerine het. raptor.
So I thought that the baby wasnt gonna be completely patternless, so I was wondering if an at birth patternless raptor can develope pattern with time.

Oh, I'm not sure.

The P is for Patternless Stripe so most raptors will have some patterning.

 

[Stamuetir]

Thanks for clearing that up.
Any one else who might be able to answer my questions?
Thanks in advance.

Typically Raptors lack much of a pattern when hatched unless they are banded or jungle. Sometimes they will develop pattern as they age and some will lack much of any pattern. They originated having a patternless stripe body but now there are many types of Raptors when it comes to pattern.

Many eclipse will hatch the same way. They develop some pattern/striping as they age.

But eclipse hatch with black eyes right?

Correct, but not albinos since they cand produce Melanin (black) so they are usually red or so dark red or brown that it looks black but this mainly happens in rainwater or on what temperature you incubated your animals.

Yes, an eclipse is a non-albino and the raptor is the albino.
