SnowMunch3 hatched nearly 50 days after SnowMunch2.

Looking at his hatchling photos, he had a noticeably different appearance compared to now. His thick dorsal, well-defined pinstripes, and a striking black & white lateral contrast gave him a strong three-dimensional look.

As he grows, he is gradually moving away from the high-quality traits we initially hoped for. His drippy pattern is developing around the pinstripe, but less so than his older sibling. Additionally, his pure white coloration has yet to fully emerge. His lateral pattern, influenced heavily by his mother, extends only about halfway up his body.

It’s fascinating to see how each offspring from the same parents develops with distinct characteristics. How will SnowMunch3 continue to change? I’ll share more updates once he has grown a bit more!
