T- positive(lavender) individuals can vary. It all depends on how much tyrosinase is synthesized into melanin.

Keep in mind, any animals that display ANY dark pigment whatsoever are actually tyrosinase positive, and so are all hypomelanistics, even "extreme" hypos. When you think about it, you can't have any melanin at all without the presence of tyrosinase in the first place.

Thanks for giving the detailed phenotype characteristics of the two clutches as well, because this would help in also giving credence to them being probably being best described as "t-pos" lavenders as well.

Very interesting stuff man, and I really like those guys!
