Mrs Frog Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have just noticed that one of my young Axies has a full black head and a white body...looks real funny as I have never seen one like this before. Has anyone else?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 put it on its own so it does not get eaten by the others,you could have something worthwhile there,we have a distinct lack of any real pied ones here,they would fetch a good price on the open market if you get get a line going.

livingart Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 that should be as plain as black and white??? its the minstrel show sometimes called harlequins the degree of patchiness varies from, like a friesian cow to spotting and speckles you need to maybe have a look at its siblings and see if any are carrying that colouration as they grow, might only be slight, like a toe of a different colour etc. best idea is to breed back to one of these or either of the parents depending on sex, i know this may sound incestuous but is best way to fix the gene axolotl genetics are very random and harlequins are rare and in demand overseas i currently have young from a spotted female and golden male, with about 40 of the babies carrying the spotted gene in varying degrees, even some gold with black spots good luck with babies and happy new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
