Well, this was supposed to be a simple pairing, het Albino het Pied x het Albino het Pied. Nothing to crazy. Was a little disappointed when I got Albinos, but no Pieds. But when I looked more closely, I saw 2 that were not normal either. Since they do not look like their normal looking parents, I am assuming that this is another recessive gene. I have contacted a very well known and respected breeder, and he agrees, that while these 2 share some characteristics with Caramel Albino and Hypo, neither gene is what they are. Both he and I are not sure what this unknown recessive gene may be. So, I am posting this, hoping that someone else might have some insight. Thanks.
