Okay, so low incubation temps make more melanin, completely reversed from what
I'd been thinking all these years. In effect then, 'making' a hypo-melanistic
male leopard should be a lot easier than a female? Could that also help explain
why 2 of my originally very hypo female leopards have 'regrown' so many spots
over the last few months that they now look like normal super orange leos? Or is
there another reason for spots coming back? These two hardly had any spots
between the neck and tail, now they've got almost a normal amount. The first
while that I had them, they were spectacular hypos, but around the time they
were 18 months or so, they started spotting. Is there something that causes it,
or is that just one of those things? The others, both male and female have
stayed the same degree of spotless, but these two don't even look the same
anymore.
Thanks again,
Hilde
