We get a lot of emails from people wandering onto the website and asking about these animals, more specifically the genetics of the female, and the results of their offspring...

What We Know:

The mother, "Gweneviere," is so distinct from all other adult lavenders we have seen, that many thought she might be a "Paragon," or some other completely different morph, and that all the babies from her paired with a lavender male would come out looking like normals...

Some thought that the sire "Excalibur," might not even be compatible with other lines of lavender albino, because of how exceptionally dark purple he was as a 700 gram specimen compared to other similar sized lavs in circulation as of early '07...

Last month, we hatched two regular lavender albinos from a 100% het VPI female bred to "Excalibur," proving his lavender genetics compatible with VPI, which in turn proves him compatible with NERD, RDR, the other VPI line, and any other line that has already proven compatible with these? Has anyone crossed either BHB line with any of the others?

Since all 6 of the babies between Gweneviere and Excalibur look nearly identical to the two lavenders hatched from the 100% Het Lavender VPI line female, it proves that both the "Gweneviere Line" and "Excalibur Line" are compatible with all the known lines of lavender out there, but none of her lavender babies look anything like her! All 6 look just like the 2 normal lavenders in the other clutch?

Now the questions are:

-Is she just a one-of-a-kind lavender, that throws baby lavs that look like normal lavenders without her faded, hypo-emerald coloration?
-Is she a double morph?
-If she is a double morph, what kind of morph is it? Codom or SR? What gene combined with the lavender gene wold make a snake that looks like her?
