She mated last season, but also not with a male het for albino, a normal jungle. She had 26 babies last year, and no albinos. I expected that same this year, from a different male, and except for the one albino super, all was as expected. It just seems likely if either male had been carrying the albino gene, I'd have had more than one albino out of two breedings. And the "father" had to be a jungle, since the one albino produced was a super jungle.

It's interesting...

Thanks for your input!
