I got some great leucistic x leucistic GFP eggs from joeyasaurusrex (thank you!!) and I'm having a blast raising babies again - I've raised all of my axies from eggs, but "all" is a grand total of four! And all of those were albino or golden from the same type parents. So I've never seen a leucistic or wildtype baby, or even a baby from a pigmented egg! I know it's waaaaay too early to tell their type (they hatched one week ago), but I noticed that two of them have different eyes than the others. Have any of your seen this before, and if so, did it indicate anything about their phenotype or genotype?
9 out of the 11 babies have "normal" eyes, which have a slight sheen to the iris area. Two of them have just pure black eyes. These two also lack the faint green color of the others - other than the spots, they're white. I know this isn't linked to the GFP because I already checked and 5 of the 11 are GFP, 6 non-GFP. Pretty neat stuff! I'm having a blast just watching them grow, but I wanted to see what you folks with waaay more experience think.
