Strange Las Vegas Hatched

[crotaphytidae]

So this little one hatched with 50% snake eyes and another one from the same pairing hatched with just a hint of snake eyes in one eye. As far as I know the parents were not het for eclipse, Anyone have any ideas, could the parents have been het for eclipse or has this happened in Las Vegas Albinos randomly before? I plan breeding this girl to an eclipse non het next year to see and to get double het for typhoon.

I wonder if it can be a random mutation. Last year I had a banded albino paired to a SHTCT who was also his daughter produce a jungle with snake eyes.

congrats if its a typhoon!!! That would be crazy if it was a genetic mutation.

See I thought that to but then another one hatched with a snake eye, I'd put up pics now but it just hatched today and I don't want to stress it out to much. I'll post pics of the new one in a day or two. But this second one is causing me to rethink that it was just random and that there could actually be something behind it. I have also e-mailed the original breeder of the adults to see if there is a possibility of any eclipse blood being in there, just waiting for the reply on it.

Thats awsome, what did the breeder say? They look very cool cameron!!

Still waiting to hear back from the breeder but I'll let you know what happens.

The blizzard gene and sometimes the patty gene can throw a random "eclipse" trait eye that is non genetic. I am not trying to rain(water) on your parade, but that could be a factor in explaining it.

looks like a stripe of some sort is it?

This is a pic of the body, I would have included it in the original post but I had to resize it.

That was another thing I was considering, but I didn't know that patternless could throw something like this only blizzard.

I have 2 RW without the "eclipse" gene that have eclipse type eye mutation. I got them from Jeremy Ledkey. He was calling it the "shatter eye" trait. This trait still needs to be proved out to be a truly consistantly gene. From what I have read, RW have a history of eye mutations but random. So far no one (that I know of!) has proved anything otherwise.

Anyway, that is very awesome to find in your incubator! Maybe the breeder will give you news of your breeder being het for eclipse!!

With two animals that have hatched from the same pairing showing the trait I'm hoping that it turns out to be something. I guess only time will tell. :main_yes:
