Thats what I was thinking, either it is a double het albino clown, or was a het albino sold as a het clown.

[Holbeird]

Talk about luck jeff! Looks like the bp gods are making up for your spider clutch.

[josh@outbackreps]

Thats what Im thinkin.


JnJ your thoughts?

He was produced by a VERY large breeder that we get 99.9% of our hets from, so I am positive it is het clown.

What I believe happened is this animal was sold in a large group of hets to my supplier from the large breeder, that large breeder has albino clowns in his collection.

My thoughts on this :

When this animal was hatched is was from a clown het albino or poss. het albino x ?? .

Since poss het males are not worth any xtra it was sold as a het clown, which also would make since as it would be a way for a the breeder to protect his project. If he sells it as a het clown then why would anyone breed a $100 male to a albino or het albino female? The snake made him some money, and at the same time no one would ever know of the bonus gene unless a freak incident like this happen where a "normal female" was a het and the male proved to be 100% albino also.

I know of at least 1 other large breeder who sells his hets, poss hets, and double het males as normals and single gene hets to protect his projects. If you don't know your het albino is het ghost too, then you would never have any reason to breed it to a ghost female.... the project is protected and the breeder gets to sell their hets without fear of competition.

Its a common part of big breeder dealings, and when a case like this happens everyone gets an interest in hets again, kind of like when a c.h pied, or other morph shows up...its bred in Africa by Noah but sold as c.h so it goes for more $$....


Jeff killer clutch glad you got it

[Mochelem]

Well I have a albino het male I bought from J&J 2 years ago, Im going to breed him In spring, maybe I should get a clown het to breed with him lol!
