Super WHITE OUT!!!

[nwheat]

Maybe it's a fatal trait?

We only have an N of one for now, let's hope not!!!

Robin - check them out on Jeff's site - near the bottom of the page.

those are cool. sorta like a pied but different and it seems some parts of them are hypo while other part remain normal colored. very cool

Oh no don't say that. That would be aweful!

Was it full term? Isn't the color and pattern one of the last things to develop? If so might have been a normal hatchling which was premature, juts a thought.

this is exactly what i was thinking as soon as i seen this post untill i seen xaviers post. i would like to know as well.

But fat tails arent jungled like that though, theyre banded

 

[nevinm]

yeah but i dont really think it looks all that "junglish" to begin with. and we still dont know how far along this baby was.....or do we.. did i miss that somewhere? so eather way for all we know that one big blotch on the back could have stayed, and for all we know as well, 3 days befor it would have hatched, bands on the tail and color on the head could have showed up.<<<<does that last sentince make sence? it made sence in my head.

nevinm,

while im not sure about it changing color, i am sure that jmg reptiles has enough experience to know what they are talking about.

I thought it looked like a premature white out. We shal see! I'm hoping for a super form though.

I spoke with Jeff senior yesterday and he had a white out with him and it was even better looking in person(not his best). He seems to think the whiteouts may be visible hets(my wording) for piebald which he calls "super whiteout" in his post.

nevinm,

i never said they didnt. they just never said how far along that baby was, and when we asked they still didnt answer. so i never said they didnt know what they were talking about.

i too spoke to them yesterday and they answered my question. they told me it was full term, and accually bigger then a normal hatchling. so the color, and patern was what it would have been if it lived. and befor yesterday i spoke to them a couple months ago. they had explained the white out to me back in feb. they told me they also beleaved the white out may be piebald. and if you ask me, and go by the deffinition of piebald, it sais any large amounts of white spoting where in a normal animal there is none. so in a stretch, the regular white outs would be a form of piebold

Yeah I saw The White out at Jeff's booth too and I asked the price and he said $4000.00 so I told my husband I won't be getting those for a while....a long while. But man it was beautiful and Jeff said that pieds could pop out of whiteouts. Man why so expensive. Haven't they been around a few years? I also saw some wonderful geckos and stupid me had stayed away right up until the end of the show to go by the venomus section(where they had put them). And I had spent my wad of money already. Darn!!!!!! I hope to see them again. Deb

Man why so expensive.

i suppose just cause people are willing to pay that much.
