Interesting Twist on Toffee Project

[TessadasExotics]

Assumptions are not fact. We all know what they say about assuming.
Is it not compatible with Lav? The breedings are still being tried. It is possible. We do have to wait and see. Sure it may not be but we just don't know yet. It could be that the Toffee is an inbetween and can work with both. I am not the only one who thinks this can be possible.

There is always going to be a small chance that every single toffee is het albino also, so pick a number, how many eggs do you want to see until it is "fact"? For most of us, there is enough evidence from the breedings already done. Nothing is ever going to be 100% fact so you have to make an assumption at some point.

As I said in the other thread, Albino and Lav do not lay on the same locus. So toffee has to lay on one or the other, there is no in between, its just simply not possible, or you guys have a new theory on how DNA is built?

Because you know genetics. New theory on how DNA is built? Really? And I though you were better than that. Yea because you can tell what they are as hatchlings? You know how they are going to look as adults? The people actually involved in the project don't know yet what is going on but you do right? Come on now. Conjecture and assumptions by people not even in the project much less even personally seen the animals.

I'm trying to be nice here, so i will just ask...why do you keep insisting it is possible? Apparently I know nothing, so ed-you-mah-kate me please great master. "Just because I say so" doesn't fly with me.

well if an albino looking creature popped out of the egg from a het toffee x het albino pairing...what else would it be besides a toffino? The one produced last year looks like a toffee (at least to me) it almost a year old now, so we atleast have a good idea of what its going to look like as an adult. and what does this have to do with the current disagreement?

The people actually involved in the project don't know yet what is going on but you do right? Come on now. Conjecture and assumptions by people not even in the project much less even personally seen the animals.

The people involved with the project both seem pretty sure they know whats going on .... why do you think they do not? Why do we have to see animal in person or be involved with the project to have a basic understanding of how loci and alleles work? Information is right in front of us, what more do you need.

Very very unlikely. I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where toffee and albino are allelic,; albino is not compatible with lav albino, yet toffee is compatible with lav albino? Genetically it just doesn't make any sense.

The simplest and most plausible explanation has already been presented.
