Color variations in H triedrus

When my H triedrus eggs started to hatch a few weeks back I noticed that a few of them had a distinctly more "reddish" color than the others which reminded me more of the parents in regard to pattern and coloration.

I just didn´t think of it any more until a few days ago when it struck me that it just may be some form of hypomelanism. Has anyone ever heard of it in H triedrus? Any ideas or input anyone?

Below are some pictures of the youngsters of different coloration.

This first one is of the more reddish phase:


And the second one, normal color:

I have h.tridrus and I have notice slight differences in colors. I have 2 pair and several hatchlings. Each one has different combination of markings and color variations. I'll try to post some pics tonight. One of my hatchlings has the start of a stripe going down his neck which I find very interesting.

I have seen advertisements for hypo morphs that look a lot like my female when she is about a week away from shedding. I don't know personally if anyone has actually produced a true Hypo. Like you though, I am very curious in finding out.

the hypos are true hypos, pale ghostly colors at all times. My friend has some, maybe he'll post some pics

Thanks a lot guys, it´s appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply, I´ve been on vacation and hasn´t had access to a computer as regularly as I use to have.

Passport: If you get pictures, please post them. It would be fun to see what real hypos look like.

Still I think I will hold on to one or two of the reddish ones just to see what will come out of it if I keep breeding that trait. :idea:
