If anyone cares......



"I have two adult male PB's that I have bred to 6 adult female hets. One female died last yr.



I also bred a male PB to a normal hypo (Beard line)female two years ago and the hatchlings all came out normal ("double" het for ?).



I wanted to prove the PB gene was not related to the Love/Beard//line ect hypo. The breeding to the PB proves the hypo gene is NOT related. Another reason I wanted to do this was that the original wildcaught PB stock came from the Loves around the same time the hypo stock was collected within the same area. The Loves were unaware of this new mutation in their collection and sold normal unknown het babies. A friend of friend in calif discovered it from two neonates he purchased from them and raised up. When he discovered the new mutation he called my friend in Florida and he told him these animals were assigned a number by the Loves. So the following year they picked all the remaining stock from the Loves without their knowledge of the new mutation."
