4 years ago I produced a silver 66% het albino female from a het albino x het albino (the male was 50% het VPI axanthic as well as pos het for Joliff axanthic). She browned out pretty good after her first shed and then just looked like a nice light colored normal. I held her back and bred her this year to a male albino I produced 2 years ago from the same het albino parents as her.

Well I hatched out another silver het albino but this one was much more silver than the mother was as a hatchling. I also produced this very light, almost entirely white albino. Well I figured after the first shed both the silver axanthic looking hatchling would brown out and the white albino would develop significantly more yellow coloring.

Well, this is what the two of them look like after their first shed and needless to say I'm confused as to why they didn't brown/yellow out more. I know there are lots of these silver looking albino hets hatching out now as well as snow looking albinos that end up looking normal after their first shed.

The other three hatchlings of the clutch are brown and black hets.

Anyone have any idea's?

Thanks,
Tom
