Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Good morning. I had a stressful night. I don't handle my kids being sick well... And my one year olds croup has changed to serious congestion, so I am freaking out about the chance of pneumonia. I spent most of the night watching the boy breath, like it was going to make me feel better

So can you call the offspring splash blue isbar, or black blue Andalusian? Then it would be the proper name... I have always wondered that too. I have only noticed it in the hatcheries, then you see their disclaimer... And I think to myself, why wouldnt they just offer it as BBS. Or just ship the blues like the title infers!!

I think calling them what they are is appropriate: BBS Isbars. I mean, that is what you could hatch. Calling them Blue Isbars leads inexperienced people to believe you will only get blues.

When we first moved here last year, we saw a coral snake casually gliding toward the house 10 feet away from up. I like snakes, but it was pretty terrifying seeing a coral that close to my family.

I see that isbar's are auto sexing but not as pronounced. How would one tell who is who?

This is exactly why hatcheries sell them this way. It would cost more for them to just sell blues, so try figure if they just slip a warning about BBS into the description, they can sucker people into buying them. Also, people who understand, and just want blue, have to purchase a lot more BBS to get just what they want

Where did you read that? I've hatched 2 blacks and there are no markings to use for auto sexing.

Okay, re-read GFF's description. It doesn't tell you how they are auto sexable at an older age. Does anyone know?

I agree. I was hoping for some blues but all I've gotten so far are blacks.

That just means you need more eggs to try again!
