About

To what degree it is proven out to not just be polygenic?:
"It’s not polygenic as we’ve produced several different combinations and also produced offspring from second generation Bambinos too
Why do you believe this is a new morph and not an existing one?:
The original male was found for me in Africa in 2012 and from my research, although there may be slight similarities with granite type genes, the Bambino is more pixelated and has delivered different results when paired with other morphs. ^[1]

History

The original male has a rich chocolate dark background which fades from dark brown on the top of the dorsal to light tan towards the belly. This is a heavily pixelated morph with crazy pixelated alien heads and a broken dorsal stripe.

I purchased the original male from Africa, it appeared very different from anything seen previously. I paired him with a Purple Passion Yellowbelly in 2019 as he was not receptive to breeding prior to this, being a wild caught specimen. That produced Bambino Phantoms, Bambino Mojaves, Bambino Phantom Yellowbelly and Bambino Mojave Yellowbelly. The next breeding of this male was to a Fire Clown and this produced Bambino het Clowns and Bambino Fire het Clowns. This was the Fire Clown female’s first pairing and I didn’t realise she was carrying another gene and all the babies came out very different/funky looking.

Appearance

Head

Runs from dark brown on tip of nose, running into lighter brown as it moves down to the speckled neck

Body

Heavily pixelated with a dark background colour, broken or speckled dorsal stripe (depending on pairing e.g. heavy speckling on the Bambino Vanilla het Clown and Bambino Phantom Yellowbelly) with heavy blushing running up the side between the pixels
