    Re: Lavender Albino or not?

    My daughter sees red in its eyes. I'll post another photo after a few more sheds to see if anyone can help us pinpoint the morph of this baby. It seems an accurate answer may take years and future breedings to solve.

    This may also just be a random genetic occurrence based on the fact that there may be something occurring on a chromosome that may only show up intermittently or sporadic.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Re: Lavender Albino or not?

    It seems to me an ultramel in the last pics, not banana. They have very dark ruby eyes when hatchling almost looks black.

    Here is a photo after second shed. Quite a change from hatchling, after first shed, and now after second shed. I was hoping the purple tint would last but no such luck.

    Wow. That's . . . Really weird. Honestly, if you had told me it was a baby Ultramel, yeah, I'd believe you. When you breed it, and breed it to a range of mates, please do post results. That may be the only way to know.

    Here are some photos from this morning with an ultramel and a lavender albino for comparison. I know he's not an ultramel but he looks very similar.

    As I was reading through this thread I was thinking the same thing, I bet both are het for Ultramel and what you have there is an Ultramel (+ het for Lavender Albino). The pattern looks exactly like Ultramel and from what I've seen the colors can vary quite a bit in different lines of Ultramel.


    This kind of reminds me of the Monarch project, the guy who discovered it popped out an unexpected snake that looks similar to this and named it 'Monarch', but I'm starting to wonder if was actually an Ultramel too. I'd be really interested to see someone cross a Monarch with an Ultramel to see if they are compatible. Speaking of which, a good way to prove out this guy would be to buy an Ultramel, pair them up and see if you get visual Ultramels or if you get normal double hets. I'd say if it's not compatible with Ultramel you may have something new here and it could be significant. If you could get your hands on a Monarch that would be an interesting pair as well...

    Re: Lavender Albino or not?

    Thanks for the reply, I have plenty of ultramels I could pair him up with so I'll give that a shot when the time comes. He's already 350 grams so it shouldn't be too much longer. I'm still curious about the two normal het for lavender albino siblings and am hoping the grayish one is visual for a recessive trait. I guess only time and experimentation will tell.

    Either bourgone albino or pastel ultramel.
