6 tail bands on a gila?

I am curious. Has anyone out there ever seen or heard of a gila (either subspecies) with 6 tail bands (including the tail tip)? All of my literature states either 4 or 5. I've even looked through hundreds of pictures of gilas and haven't seen it. So I am asking all of you. Have you seen it or heard of it before? I had 1 cinctum hatch that has 6 clean little bands. Its other 4 siblings have the "normal" 5 bands and both of its parents have 5 bands. The entire clutch was incubated together and at the same temperature so I wouldn't think it was temperature induced like some pattern anomallies in reptiles are. If any one has any information on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Sorry no picture but I don't have an image host.
