CB A. mavortium odd light coloration

[Neotenic_Jaymes]

Just wanted to show some pics and a video of whats up and coming. Got a few eggs from John Clare and I ended up with this guy. The larva is at the 4 inch mark, I also got a few comparison pictures. Ain't I lucky?

Looks like a leucistic mavortium !?

How lucky you are to have one,

in 10 years and 5 breedings ( 5 x 100 larvae) I nevet got one...(or albino)

can't wait for its metamorphosis !...

I remember John telling me how pleased he was to have given that one away

Better picture and idea of what it looks like next to a sibling.

That is why you don't sell your eggs.....lol.

 

[Neotenic_Jaymes]

They were offered and given to me. John still has access to this individual if he needs. It'll be great if we all could have one of these one day.

I don't sell eggs. Especially not to my friends!

Is this still neotenic?

You mean oddly colored? Don't remember anything about it being neotenic

It is Neotenic.

 

[Neotenic_Jaymes]

It's neotenic and oddly colored.

I'm interested if it could breed. You should look for neotenic tigers (As impossible as that may be) and try to breed it

 

[supergrappler]

Nice! What a gem.

Usually the extraction of a neotenic individual leads to morphing. Same goes for other neotenic salamanders like plethodontids.

That's why I said it would be nearly impossible. If you found a way, would you breed it?

 

[Neotenic_Jaymes]

Neotenic individuals do breed with non neotenic partners. Especially in Barred Tiger Salamanders it's been documented. If I ever do get eggs I'll let you know!
