I was at a show today and got to talking to a breeder who (in my book at least) is pretty reputable. We were talking about my aspirations as a breeder and he asked me what pairings I would like to do next year.
I started naming off a few and got to my Albino pair that I wouldn't mind putting together in the future. He mentioned to me that you would never want to mate Albino to Albino, and that you should always do and Albino to a Het Albino. I was taken aback as I have never heard of this before so I asked him why.
His reply was that, with an Albino to Albino, the eggs normally come out smaller than that of a normal BP clutch. He went on saying that smaller eggs often times lead to smaller and weaker babies that would be harder to get started.
My question is: Is there any truth to that? I have never heard of that before. I'm just curious, and by no means am I'm bashing the breeder. As said before, I find him to be rather reputable, and I almost walked out with a pair of Cinnamons from him.
Thanks for your input!
