Well, He sold the rest of the clutch and the parents so I'm SOL unless someone here has a baby melanistic male. I was tempted to go with 2.2 for this very reason but I was too cheap. I guess I don't have to be in too much of a hurry, even if I have to wait until next year to get one it won't hurt to have a male that is a year younger than the females anyway. That way I won't be tempted to breed the females too early which I personally think happened with this pair of parents anyway. They were less than 2 years old which would help explain the small clutch.
