Really, this is one of the more interesting things I've actually seen when it comes to my own leos. This was the little guy that was born that I thought was my Blazing Blizzard but turned out not to be at all..Indeed, his patterning and coloring turned out to be albino but the coloring is odd... the pattern is odd... its why there's got to be something in the genetics of my Blazing Blizzard project thats odd and off. Its kinda crazy. I don't even know if he should be labled an abberant... a reverse stripe, partial stripe..tang albino. ALL my albino's have ended up keeping the bright yellow coloring instead of turning darker like most tremper albinos do and it has nothing to do with their temps. I've tested that theory on the coloration and it hasn't changed. They've kept their grandmother's tangerine albino coloring more and seem to only have white and pink/coral as their other colors. But I don't know. I'm stumped with some of this stuff from this project. I hate to inbreed anymore but I believe out of the 2 albinos and the 2 odd blizzards I've gotten a 1.3 group altogether. But anyway, here's the pics of Invierno.. I'll include 2 pics from when he was first born so you can see the difference. Its amazing really. And I worked out the dates on his hatching. He hatched 2 weeks after his clutchmate and they were in the same incubator.. same cup.. right next to each other. So I don't think he was premature. His clutchmate was a blizzard with an odd edge of seemingly patternless coloring from his head, down his neck and somewhat onto his back....And theres also a pic of his grandmother who I used to create my dbl hets from included below.
Hatchling:
And now. He's been an on and off eater so he's thinner than I'd like but he's starting to pick up now that he's a little older. This first picture I had to play with the lighting background a bit since the flash washed everything out so it looks a bit odd...but you can see the pattern easier on him than in the other pics
Thats all of them. Interesting eh? We'll see what comes of it down the road this coming year.
And his Grandmother, Tequila Sunrise (Tiki for short) who I picked up in a petshop for $25
