Related Genes:N/A
Proven: To what degree it is proven out to not just be polygenic? F1
Unique: Why do you believe this is a new morph and not an existing one? Currently there are no morphs listed for G. Hainanensis
Problems: Any problems? No.
History: The history behind its discovery? In my search for g. Hainanensis and I came across a pair of clutch mates. One with what looked at first glance a normal pattern, and one with an aberrant pattern. The “ normal “ appearing one being female, and the aberrant pattern a male. Once the pair was immature enough to breed, they were paired. The aberrant male was also paired to all available unrelated females as well.
Disagreement or Controversy: none
