Hey all

I'm just starting to look into breeding of BP's and although I probably won't start for a while I'd still like to start gathering info.

Now before anyone begins to question my motives I must let you know that I am an avid animal lover (but not the mushy type), I have a great appreciation for the value (not monetary)that animals can bring to our lives. I also work in the animal industry and come from an family of animal lovers, so I guess you can say it is inbred. What excites me is working with life (be it flora or fauna) and seeing it grow and progress, and as this happens so does my sense of achievement

After spending some time on this site I've become more and more fascinated with this species and degree of possibility you have when it comes to breeding. I see that a lot of people are striving to breed the next super 'morph', and I find this very exciting but not essential. For me, to be able to breed something that is not the norm, but is not one of a kind, is satisfying enough.

Currently I've got one normal male BP, Samson, who is still young at just about 4 months old. What I want to do is to start to get my head around how things would work if I wanted to breed him to a morph of one kind or another.

Say for example I bred him to an albino, would the babies be 50/50 split normal/albino, with the normals carrying the the gene for albino? A het-albino?

What recommendations would the pro's have out there to breed my male with? just to get the ball rolling so to speak?
