Is this baby going to be wildtype?

[racheljritchie]

Hi my babies are aprox 3 weeks now and some are clearly going to be leucitic i have some that are brown but speckled brown, are these speckled ones going to be wild type? (mam n dad are leicitic and wild type). the leucitic ones seem larger and have started developing front legs however i cant see any development of legs on the darker ones?

Mine are definitely a mix of leucistic and wildtype. The wildtype are quite green. My leucistics have arm buds but the wildtypes don't yet, but the same happened with my toddlers (who now have back legs too ) so I think the wildtypes must just be slower developing in general, they tend to grow slower than my leucistics too. I've attached pics, terrible quality but you can see the 2 types.

so what do you think about the two i have posted Nix? yours appear to have good markings on the wildtype. mine dont look as patterned as yours do, are mine i have posted wild type or leucitic in disguise? lol x

I suspect they're wildtype

Really? I'm pretty positive you have a black melanoid baby, Rach!

They look wildtype to me.

Just to throw it out there, my little stitch looked like that when i bought him, i thought he was wildtype. The more he grew, the darker he got and i found out the other day he is melanoid!

here he is

ok i get confused what is melanoid again...is that dark without the ring on their eyes? mine all have rings like their daddy

If they have a shiny ring, they they are wildtype
