    Re: Het Albino x ??

    Hard to say, I usually just go with what I personally like. The question I have for you is how patient are you? The pied is a great albino project but its going to take a long time and the babies will only be possible het albinos so you may spend years and not get the results you are expecting. I like the cinamon albinos because they have a very cool and obvious pattern as well as great contrast. I'm not so crazy about the spider albinos because to me its hard to see the spider pattern in an albino but you may feel differently. The fastest way to see a visual albino is to get a male albino. So it comes down again to how patient are you? With hets you only have 25% chance per egg to even see an albino let alone a combo morph albino which is even less. Last season I had 10 eggs that had 25% chance for bumble bees and never saw one! There are no guarantees so go for what you really like cuz it may take a while.

    LOL! I know..its too easy to get side tracked..will def be going dow the pied route with visuals..initialy I was just simply going to replicate visuals to build a good base with the pieds, albinos & axanthics..one of my albino projects def include pewters..early days, just looking for other perspectives

    Thanks Raul..these girls were a bargain, something to play around with with out breaking the bank really..albinos are important in my long term plans..I would ultimatly like to create a pewter albino pied but that will be years away lol!
