    Lavender Albino or not?

    I posted this on another thread but photos didn't work out. Here is a 3 day old lavender albino with a sibling that I can't identify due to color and dark eyes. Mother is normal het lavender albino. Father is lavender albino 50% het pied. Any thoughts on what the morph the dark eyed baby might be?

    Well I know Candino's have the darker ruby eye coloration as opposed to reg albinos that have the pink eye color. Are you sure this is the lavender albino gene you are working with? The first pic looks like a regular albino. Maybe we need to wait on subsequent sheds to really tell. Maybe the mother is het albino and not lavender albino ?

    how sure are you on those hets?
    I have to second the candy/toffee sugestion
    that baby looks like a candino/toffino to me but only time will tell (I may not be the best judge on lav as I don't work with it, but I do work with toffee)

    The father is definitely lavender albino 50% het for pied. The mother was sold to me as proven het for lavender albino. This was my first time breeding her but if she was het for albino the babies would all be visually normal. The photos of the two babies are both from her clutch so she must be het for lavender albino unless the father carries some other gene. The mother laid ten eggs which all hatched, producing seven visual lavender albino, two visual normal, and the oddball with dark eyes.

    If you are sure about the hets then the only explanation is he's just a bit odd. Personally I'd hold him/her back. Just to see

    Do the other lavender albinos look like the first pic as far as the coloration, or the second? Maybe it's a random genetic influence on the eye color?

    The seven lavender albino babies all look alike. Following are photos of the two normal looking babies in case you see something in them.

    Could it be a lavender snowball?

    Paradox that only effected the eyes?

    Candino eyes do not look like that. Especially not at hatching

    Lavs typically hatch out looking like normal Albinos and their colouring flushes in as they age


    Based on the fact that the whole animal is pigmented my inclination is to say it is just genetic variation just popping out and surprising you a bit and the animal is a regular Lav that happened to start colouring up significantly earlier than expected. Odd question -- What were your incubation temps and was this specific animal's egg someplace where it would have been colder than the rest of the eggs?
