Hey guys, let me pick your brain on this. Last year I bred a Visual Hypo Pueblan to a Visual Hypo Pueblan, the end result were all normal looking babies. Unfortunately before the eggs hatched I sold off my male and kept the female. The female is a "Bell line" Hypo. I actually was able to get a "Lousiana Line" male this year from Shannon B., which I believe my male was from last year. Here's my question, do you think the end result this year will be the same?

Take a look at these photos. Tell me in your honest opinion one doesn't look more like a t plus rather than a hypo?

I held back a trio from last year and should be ready in 2012 to breed, do you think if these are double "hets" will the outcome be? If both traits prove to be simple recessive will one mask the other or will it enhance the other?

Here is a picture of Shannon's t plus Nelsoni for comparison.

I have discussed this already with some of you so feel free to chime in if you want. Also I know the pictures don't show the greatest detail of the difference in coloration, but believe me there is.
