    Re: Expert help - who is the Daddy?

    Exactly what I was thinking. And unless I'm mistaken, if it were a pastel albino, either the pastel or the bee could be the father, although that doesn't really look like any pastel albino I've seen pictures of. Frankly I don't know how you'll figure it out, but I do know that you hit on some unbelievable luck. Like wow. First off, your "normal" female is actually a het, second off one (or more?!) of your male morphs are het albino... Big congrats!

    What we really need is someone to post up pics of a pastel albino, a mojave albino, and a cinny albino and maybe we can pick out which one is similar. It's a very interesting albino, with that faded orange stripe down the back...

    Hopefully someone who has produced something like this before will chime in and give you some insight. To me, although it's a little bit different, I would say pastel albino just because the pattern doesn't look like a mojave or a cinnamon to me. Also, if it were the Bee, I think the odds would be against you not producing anything but albinos and normals, so either you hit bad odds, or your pastel is the father. That's where I'll put my money, hopefully someone can say with more confidence.

    Also, a question, you have a pic of an albino from "clutch 1"... were the potential sires the same for that clutch as well? Or could we narrow it down from that?

    EDIT: It occured to me right after I posted this how silly that prediction was, or at least my reasoning was. Could be a snake that hit on the albino gene and missed on the cinnamon or mojave gene... So... Yeah, I'll stick with pastel as my guess, but it's not the logical choice it was in my mind when I first wrote that down haha.
