really weird looking hatchling

[KelliH]

I hatched this odd looking baby today from a male striped bell crossed to a female stripe het bell. I thought it was an albino at first glance but then I noticed it has dark eyes. The parents have no funky genetics at all. Anyone else hatched a baby like this?

That is wild!!
I havn't seen anything like it. It almost looks like a snow.
Even the over all structure of the gecko looks different. Cool Leo!

I can't wait to see what it grows into!

 

[BalloonzForU]

That's strange!! But I really like it!!! Congrats, and keep us updated!!!

That's a very interesting looking hatchling, Kelli! I'll be anxious to see what it looks like as it grows.

Silly question, but did it hatch earlier than expected?

 

[DanTheFireman]

Very neat... have any anoles wandered into their colony ?? I'm sure you'll be doing alot of peeking at that one.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like it could be a premie. What do you think Kelli?

 

[KelliH]

Silly question, but did it hatch earlier than expected?

The egg was laid on 1/28 and it hatched today, incubated at 89. It did not absord all of it's egg yolk though for some reason.

Very cool! Definitely not premature if it hatched in 40 days at 89 degrees. Can't wait for updates!

 

[KelliH]

Nope, it's not premature at all. I'll keep you posted, most likely the lavendar areas will turn orange but you never know.

 

[Gregg M]

Awesome... I cant wait to see what it turns into... Maybe a Ham-mack snow?? LOL... Man I crack me up sometimes!!!

Looks similar to one of the bell hets I hatched from one of my first bell x stripe breedings... mine wasn't as pronounced as that though and it grew up to be VERY pale and had a body color I could only really call tan.

That's truly remarkable, Kelli. Very nice!

I remember that gecko, do you still have a pic you can post?

 

[SaSobek]

very weird kelli. looks cool though.

 

[boutiquegecko]

Hmm, I'm breeding the same, I'll let you know if I hatch out any like that. Has the clutch mate hatched? He's neat looking anyhow and does look different in structure.

 

[giantkeeper]

Very neat Kelli! Cannot wait for updates....

Hey Kelli - Not sure if this is the same thing or not, but I did hatch one different het last year from jungle het Bell pairings...(I think the mother was one I got from you). She always stood out. I sold her, but I kinda wish I'd kept her. She looked very much like a snow of some sort...but the male and females I was using were likely "pre-mack" era

It's the Blue Eyed Albino!!!
