this one isn't really all that complicated once you strip away all the distracting titles and break it into it's individual parts (motley, albino, hypo and anery).



the lipstick paradox albino motley is really simply an albino motley, and the possible super moonglow is really just a moonglow (for simplicity's sake).



since the motley is an albino and the moonglow is also an albino, there are no "wildtype" genes on that locus, therefore there will be no non-albinos. it's like breeding an albino to another albino. you get all albinos.



now figure in the motley part. since it's an incomplete dominant trait, you'll get roughly half a litter of motleys.



add those two together and you get a litter of albinos and albino motleys.



now factor in the hypo mutation. if the moonglow proves NOT to be super, then roughly half of the albinos will also be hypos, making roughly half the litter sunglows. some of them will be motleys, others won't.



if the moonglow IS super, then ALL of the babies will get the hypo trait, making them ALL sunglows. again, about half will be motley.



now figure in the anery part of the moonglow. since the albino motley has no anery gene, you won't get any anery offspring, but they all will be het anery.



the paradox part may or may not prove genetic (most don't). you may get a paradox or two, maybe not.



the lipstick part will really only apply if the babies inherit the lipstick "look". some will, others won't. how MANY depends on how intense the "look" is in the lipstick albino motley, and how much the moonglow mutes it (if it is a low contrast albino - and it likely is - it will strip away more of the lipstick influence than another high-contrast albino would have).
