>>The hybino mentioned, as of now we are pretty sure it is. It has only been bred with a hypo het-albino, and the only thing to pop out is very pale hypos, and very pale albins-(hybinos). Now, in 2007 I hatched the first 100% known double homo pyro, a hybino-(the snake was a visual BHB hypo and albino) the parents were both BHB hypo het-albino. There was 2 eggs, and one was a hybino and the other a hypo. Now the albinos that come from the "thought to be hybino" are/were a little lighter than the 100% hybino.
=========================
Jeff's doing a great job with the animals I had to give up several years ago. He's proven I put them into the right hands. (thanks, jeff!)
can you clarify your comments about the first hybinos, jeff, or maybe allow me to do a little of that and ask you some more questions!? I THINK you're saying the 2007 one you produced is the first "known" because it HAS to be that, because of the parentage: ANY amel produced from the hypo/amel X hypo/amel pairing has to be a hybino, because all the babies have to be hypos even though that may not be readily apparent on those that are amels. And the snake i speculated might be a hybino, that I produced in what, 04 or 05? (photo shows it with a "regular" amel) is the one you're referring to as "the hybino mentioned"?
It's always risky declaring an animal a hybino based solely on appearance, and that was the situation i was in. So I figured it was, but wasn't willing to declare it so until it was test bred. As Jeff points out, it's producing distinctive offspring, but only breeding it to a hypo and producing a substantial number of offspring, all of which are hypos, would prove it to be a hybino (the amel part is readily observable!) Jeff's production of a known, definite hybino is a breakthrough, because for the first time it allows us to see what a hybino looks like, for sure.
btw that early possible hybino i produced came from the BHB line that produced both albinos and hypos. Yep, the pyros are an exciting group, and yep, i miss them.
