Unfortunately, one snake from my last clutch did not hatch, so I investigated. I found the dead neonate had a couple severe kinks, which explains the non-hatch, but it also had a strange pattern for the pairing and I'm wondering if it was a part of the genetic defect or what.
I am posting pictures of the pattern, the pairing was a black pastel het OG x cinnamon spider pastel. The viable healthy rest of the clutch yielded 1 normal, 3 bumblebees, a black pastel cinnamon and a black pastel pewter.
The pics are of the non-viable kinked baby's pattern. What puzzles me are the speckles and the back stripe. Any input is helpful.
