    Poss. het albino babies...and maybe something extra?
    I got a nice 7 egg clutch from the normal female I bred to my het albino male this past season, and all seven eggs hatched September 1 into healthy babies! However, I noticed some of the babies had some odd markings...in fact, they kinda looked like...het red axanthics?? Granted, they weren't as 'extreme' as some I've seen in pictures, but I checked the Hunter's Guide, and they fit all the criteria, especially since it says that a het red to normal breeding tends to produce less extreme babies. Anyway, since I've never actually seen a het red in person, I thought I'd throw up some pics of the two coolest looking babies and let ya'll advise me. These pics are after first shed. Are these het reds? And if so, which parent gave them the gene (my money's on mama)?

    C105- Poss. het albino female:

    C103- Poss. het albino male (cool pattern on this guy):

    I'm not the best photographer :rolleyes:, but on both of these you can see the 'squiggles,' flames, and black-back kind of look. The male has a broken neck stripe, although the female does not.

    Here's dad, 100% het albino (he's in shed ATM):

    And here's mom:

    Dad's a black back, and has some nice flames, but he doesn't look het red to me. Mom I could see *possibly* being a het red, although I assumed (as one does) that she was a normal when I purchased her two years ago from a pet store (she was already an adult). She has some *very* nice blushing, flames, and some marks that *might* be squiggles, but are very subtle. So what do ya'll think? Do I just have some cool-looking possible het albinos, or something more?

    Bump! Seeing if I can get a couple more opinions on these guys... Compared to the het red pictured above (thanks Shadrach) they don't have as complete of a black back, but... lol, I still can't tell.
