A Very Different Albino

Huh, thats pretty cool to know! I wonder if it's a kind of guarantee that the axanthic lookers are actually 100% het since it was a hetXhet breeding. I guess you could sort of prove that by breeding that girl back to dad in a few years and seeing if all the "normals" come out looking that way. She's pretty dang cool Albey glad to hear maybe your luck has turned around some with the recessives :D.

love it! Great color Amazing albino. You always had Quality morphs :gj:
Congrat:banana:

Too bad they go to normal :(. But that albino is going to be sweet!

Thank again everyone. I would still like to hear from anybody that has more information on whether or not the non-Axanthic looking ones can still be Het with the Blush Albinos.

Are those babies 66% possible hets? Or are they 100% hets?

Mark, unfortunately the Axanthic looking ones turn completely normal looking after a few sheds so I don’t think they would add much to the true Axanthic.

It was a Het to Het breeding so they would be 66%.

Here is a picture I took of the one Female I kept from the 2006 clutch.

Here is a picture of the same Female that I just took.

I am just shooting from the hip on this as I do not have any real background on blushing albinos but I am half inclined to think that what may cause this blushing and the axanthic-looking animals is the result of some type of promoter/expression regulator mutation. And if that is the case then there is the possible it is not linked to the albino loci. You would need to do some significant breeding experiments to prove this out though... And until that is done I, personally, do not think you can say one way or the other that the normal looking are any less het than the axanthic-looking. But that is only based on what I know of albino blushes from reading this thread and this thread alone.

Albey,
Congrats on finally getting something out of that pair. That is a very interesting clutch, and a very beautiful Albino. When I first looked at it, it reminded me of what Kevin (NERD) used to call faded Albinos. If memory serves me right, he even hatched Faded Albino Spiders. He may even have some of those pics on his new site.

Congrats,

WOW!!!! I love low contrast!!! Beautiful little snake!

alright so i just hatched a clutch of 6 from het x het also. the babies bloodline comes from bob clark. i have an albino (not quite that faded but faded) and 2 of the other 3 are axanthic lookin like yours. have you tried breeding them back yet?

I have produced these in the past and the Axanthic looking babies are the Hets for Yellow Blush Albinos.
