Here’s a 2019 holdback captive bred 3 toed box turtle that deviates from the norm from my group. The parents are light shelled with minimal markings. The male’s skin is very colorful while the females is average. The mother averaged close to 2 clutches a year(about 8 egg average) for the last 5 years with about a 90% hatch rate and this is the only dark hatchling produced during this time. All the other hatchlings were light shelled with no or minimal markings. We’ll see if the shell remains dark but it’s pretty cool to see the variance in comparison to its siblings.
