... A continuation of my post below on the Patternless annectans...
I had two clutches of eggs hatch from double het patternless albino x double het patternless albino breedings. Their grandfather is "Sancho" the founder of the line, and their grandmothers are albino Applegates...
By my math, I had roughly a 1/4 chance of producing an albino possible het patternless, a 1/4 chance of producing a patternless possible het albino, and a 1/16 chance of getting a patternless albino.
Here's the first clutch:

That's two patternless possible het albinos, two albino possible het patternless, and one patternless albino!! There's certainly some variability in the patternless babies... OIt may be time to call the trait something else. Any suggestions? My only restraint is that I don't want to call them striped, as I think they should be distinguished from other striped annectans out there... Here's a close up of the patternless albino:

Then the second clutch came along...

That's TWO patternless albinos, one albino possible het patternless, and two possible double hets!! The albino from this clutch seem to be very different looking. They are much more yellow with purplish undertones than the albinos from the other clutch... Close up...

Now I just have to decide which ones to hold back!
