Paradox ivory sulcata.
4 Attachment(s)
The 2022 hatching season had several positive surprises for me, but something exceptional hatched out from my ivory (leucistic) sulcata tortoise project colony this summer. There will be several posts to show progress from hatching until the current state of growth and development. This paradox ivory sulcata is being held back for reincorporation to the project when it is large enough later on.

This post also has it shown with two typical ivory (leucistic) siblings.

Current photos. The markings have become progressively nicer and ray-like as the animal has expanded.

Not as freaky as the one from 2022, but I have been fortunate to hatch another paradox ivory animal from the same parents this year. It will likewise increase in the impression of its difference from a typical ivory as it grows.

Yet another. I do not always have good fortune when rolling the dice of morph genetics (I tend to get lopsided results compared to stats when stats apply in a known way), but some results are surprisingly pleasant.

The pattern seems pretty much set now. All that is left is amplification of body size.
