Troy,
I know you are not trying to be an ass... LOL... Its a legit question...

I am going by what we in the reptile hobby find acceptable in terms of reptile genetics... I am going by what I see visualy... With the 3 T negs I mentioned it is pretty obvious that they do not show malanin or copper colors which would indicate that they are not producing tyrosinase... The fact that the T pos albinos I mention show at least some melanin and obvious copper tones in their skin and eyes, is a pretty good indication that they do produce tyrosinase...

It is true that in the reptile world, what we consider acceptable as genetic terms may not always be correct or the exact definition...

For example what we consider co-dominant is not really acting co-dominantly...

I guess until someone gives up some animals and puts some money up for testing genetics, I guess we are stuck with educated guessing...
