Hey Jeremy,

Thanks a lot for the info on the albinos/snows. I did have one more question about tying off that excess yolk. About how far should I tie off that excess? An inch from the baby's body? Less? Closer to that big round yellow yolk? Again, I have never had to do this with any of the babies I've had over here, so I'm extremely nervous having to do it to this lil snow. I'm more than happy to do what needs to be done, I just want to know exactly where to tie off the excess and cut it off.

As for the odds game, who knows. I know some basic genetics as this hobby has kinda forced me to learn some just to make sense of some of the morphs I want to produce. But I'm a a frickin' law student, so numbers and statistics are pretty much a whole different world to me.

Anyway, I've got some definite hets to pair up with this litter's mom when she's ready to breed again (probably 2 years from now since this pregnancy took a lot of weight off of her). And I've got another normal het female for the dad next year. So we'll see what comes of this odd outcome in the next year or so.

Again, thank you so much for your input and assistance.

All the best...Jay
