errr is this pattern normal?

Hi,

Ok 2 of the 3 hatchlings have left the eggs and I have never seen a back pattern like this before



The parents are both normals though the female is quite light compared to my others. The second hatchling has one or 2 black spots in the back but nothing too unusual.



Sorry for the quality I just grabbed a couple of pics while putting them into tanks and didn't want to keep them out too long.

Hard to say with the pics, but Ive seen similar patterns before. I wouldn't say it is super common, but it is definitely normal IMO.

Cool,


Guess I'm just trying to talk myself into keeping one of them .

Looked at it ,went "00000", realised I was reading a snake and got all confused.

Selectively breed those spotted babies to bring out more circles and you could have your very own cheetah ball.

Good looking baby.

LOL wonder if they will be more active than my fat lumps


It seems to run in the family - here's the third hatchling;



and a better top down shot of the first;

I think it's pretty neat. If you like it, keep it. If it's a female there won't be any convincing involved!
