Back in March 0f 2001, Sharon Moore (Boawomen) produced a litter of 50/50 Carmel Hypos and Hets. This litter caused alot of controversy because when see posted them see called them Hypos. This is one reason why the name was changed to Carmels or Carmel Hypos. I believe there were 9 Carmels produced. Of the 9 produced I think only five are around today, two males and three females. One of those females belongs to me. My female was far from being the pick of the litter and had alot more speckles. I produced a litter last year of het Carmels with my female. Since 2001 there has yet to be another litter of Carmels produced.
As babies the Carmels look very much like Hypos, with a little more black in the tail. As adults I think, and my opinion only, they look more like some adult T+ Albinos that I have seen. I think it is kind of early to say exactly what is going on in this trait due to the limited amount of animals.
I have attached some pictures of some of my animals. The first picture is one of my females babies (Het Carmel) and the second picture is of the Carmel litter produced in 2001 (picture was taken by Sharon Moore). The third picture is of my adult female; picture was taken last year after having her litter.
Hopes this helps some.
Maybe Mike W. can add some other information or correct me if some of my numbers are wrong.
