Show & Tell
I should know better than to report the early findings you’ll see in this article, but I’ll do so with the disclaimer that more trials are necessary before drawing any genetic conclusions. The parents of these two 2018 hatchlings are a Specter male and a Snow female. Genetically, pairing an Anery mutant to a Snow mutant (which is, of course, an Amel Anery) should render progeny that ALL demonstrate at least Anery, since both parents were Anery? Four common corns were in this brood, and the rest were all Anery types. I thought that perhaps some sperm from last year may have fertilized some of the eggs this year, but the Snow parent was bred to an Anery type last year, rendering all Anery mutants. SO, I won’t impulsively proclaim that something’s amiss here (genetically speaking) but perhaps we’ll learn more next year?
