Nice stuff John,
I really wouldn't call them "Borrego" animals though.that locale was lost right off the bat after Brian Mcgurty collected his young t way back when.
He did infact collect a t albino near sissors crossing about 20 years ago.When he got the snake big enough to breed he placed it on a applegate albino just to see what would happen.To his surprise he produced both "looks" in the clutch right out of the gate.So basically all the amels are het for t and vise versa.I have had both a few different times and have produced both before.Even when breeding two t animals you will throw off an amel here or there.They usually breed true to form though and the percentage is low.
Anyway, this is the story from the man himself and not her-say at all.I have always sold mine as t Mcgurty's or just Mcgurty amels.I really think that the "Borrego" name was thrown out the window from the get go.
I think the gene is compatible just like the Limburg/Dyer animals that where found in the same field and will produce each other in the same clutch.(pic below)
