Single post in Melanistic Hatching Thread

im so conflicted by this hatch oh my god on one hand its a gorgeous melan, i absolutely love the red against the black, and in all odds, it's a female, which is 12.5%! and she finally came after 1600 eggs... but on the other hand... it's a female, and i usually don't prefer female melans, but because it is a rare gender i feel like it'll be a waste to put her up for trade... sigh if only my 5 melan salandits earlier were this lucky too... it's alright, she's still very pretty, i just have to think of a name for her...
