Ok, I understand that the gene for albanism trumps the gene of hypomelanism. And that an albino, "het" lavender, would look like an albino. But in the same way a double homozygous hybino does not necessarily look like a hypo and albino it looks simply albino. And a triple homozygous mutation (like the pearl hondurans) look like snows. I'm merely saying that because the mutated gene isn't displayed doesn't mean the animal isn't homozygous for the mutation. It may not be able to be proven by looking at it but it's still there. You have a double homozygous mutation and it should be known. Because if I breed a double homozygous animal to a het I still might want to know statistically what my odds are of potential offspring. That's all.
