I may have missed some, its early

That's my goal; I am getting an albino male to breed to all my girls; then I'll get an axanthic girl and snow will fall! (or hatch..)

You realize that breeding an albino to an axanthic will result in normal looking offspring that carry the gene for both albinism and axanthism ... and then breeding those normal looking offspring together is what actually produces a snow? .... about one out of every 16 eggs give or take. :sweeet:

That's the tough nut to crack, but once you have a double homozygous male, yay odds!

Brian,
You did miss one in your list above. Highly unlikely, but you could get a Normal as well.
