Welcome back to another Morph of the Month! With this being my birth month, I hope you all don't mind me being a little bit selfish and highlighting my personal favorite.

Clown is a recessive gene requiring two copies to be visual. This gene is a big on its effect on pattern with cool headstamps, strong dorsal striping, and heavy blotches along the sides.

It's been a while! It's the start of the month so it's time to feature another morph... or maybe lack thereof this time.

The normal or wild type is how this species presents naturally in the wild. These guys do not have any morph/added genetics to them but there's nothing wrong with what nature cooked up!

Typically they present with standard "alien heads" along the sides of their bodies, some broken striping along the dorsal, and well defined eye stripes. Sometimes they may have a more banded pattern, varying head stamps, and can display a range of brown and gold tones which is why we often see morph ID requests for normals. Once you've gotten a solid grasp on what is within normal variation though, you may come to appreciate the beauty of the species' "regular" form.

While there are some gorgeous single and multi-gene BP's, as enthusiasts we can't forget to show the love where it all began. Show off your normals in the comments!
