Visually thats true , but the genotypes will result in off colors down the line . Most people [ me included ] would be unhappy to purchase blue Ameraunanas , breed them , and end up with EE colors .

I'm not the one that unpacked the boxes, DBF did before I got home.
Looked like each egg in bubble wrap then all were taped to gether in a ball.

Just received eggs from Pips&Peeps today. Even though the post office lost my first order, and only 1 hatched, Jean was kind enough to send me 16 replacement eggs (original order was for 6!). Guess what, the post office lost this batch, too. Oh, well. Regardless of how many hatch, Jean has MORE than done her part as a wonderful seller, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone. I will put eggs in the bator tomorrow, and post pics WHEN they hatch (staying positive!). Thanks, Jean!
