Double Het For What?

[Slowcountry Balls]

first thing i can think of is fire/vanilla.....these can be very subtle morphs and maybe one of the parents was a vanilla or fire that went unnoticed.
this could happen if one of the grand parents was a vanilla/fire albino, very hard to ID that one. something like this could have happened: breeder sold a fire/vanilla albino as a regular albino due to ID issue, then next breeder thinks he's breeding a regular albino to a pied, hatches out a fire/vanilla double het albino pied, thinks it as a normal DH albino pied because he's not expecting anything extra...you breed it and notice the odd balls....very complicated explanation with a lot of maybes, but it's more rational and has better odds of happening than triple hets...

I understand your theory, but if you look at my thread for locks for the 2013-2014 season (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ry-Balls-Locks), I think you'll agree that neither parent has Fire, nor Vanilla in them. I will try posting some comparison pictures tonight, after work.
