I'm loving the variety this group is giving me in offspring! Still on the fence on whether or not they are pure G. hainanensis, G. lichtenfelderi or hybrid crosses but hope to have all that figured out soon, anyway I still love em!

The variation in the hatchlings from the three different mothers is really noticeable when you compare female 1's hatchlings (Whiter bands and white spots are forming on a couple hatchlings knees) to the other females hatchlings (yellow bands no spots on knees) but female 2 has one hatchling that looks identical to female 1's clutch. I don't believe my male to be the cause of the strange variations and I'm not OK with "well its just different" something is causing them to be different and I hope to find out why soon. :)

Its always possible for crosses in genes from the mothers before you had them, they may not have been full blooded like you said either way your offspring look great :)

Thanks everyone! It will be really interesting to see how these W/C's stack up to the G. hainanensis and G. lichtenfelderi I'll be getting in September.
