Default Blue Grass Female with Nike?

Hi bro/Sis,

Would like to ask those that are keeping Blue Grass breed, any of you experience your female showing traits of the dark nike logo on her body?

I recently saw a few of my females showing this trait 'at times'. Any experienced breeder can comment on this?

'At times' means at certain lighting and angle, I can see the nike very lightly (not obvious). So I'm wondering is this a good sign for the line as the nike gene is strong? So far, I could say more than 90% of my blue grass males have nike logo.

Those females are of 3 months old which are very female looking. I feel they have quite low chance of transforming into males, as for my case, they mostly transform from female to male latest at age of 2 months old. A bit hard to take photos as its not obvious. And I do not have a good camera also

I am also wondering this 'transformation' as said by bros here, do they occur in nature or actually more frequently in 'selective breeding line'.

I ever come across such "males" in my albino snakeskin strain. The so called males have a gravid spot too, but then the brood of fries that they are able to produce is generally lesser than a typical female.

Some photos:

Some females have it more obvious while others are lighter in tone.
