triple hets were bred this year(green,granite,albino). The offspring that were hatched showed all three pattern morphs to some degree. The "green/granite" was the typical green coloration, kinda brighter like a green het albino. But showed the granite pattern as well. There was also an "albino green/granite", it was different. With the dark pigment removed, the granite markings were less obvious.But the possible het offspring were very cool. The albino's(possible het green/granite), are very bright colored, with very prominent markings dorsally. Some of the normal(possible triple het) are the one's that seem to definatley show the results of all three morphs. They are brightly colored compared to normal colors. And the "green" trait if very noticeable, with small spots and blotches typical of animals het for green. And the granite trait showed with the typical puzzle pattern of het granites. But like I said with awesome coloration, very light or hypo'ish( for a lack of a better word". You can find pics on another website's forums(www.bobclark.com). Using the search option.
But I do agree that the green trait does wash out a little of the other's that are being used. It is almost patternless anyway. But triple hets(albino,granite,lab) would be interesting to breed together. Thought about doing this myself, but went with normal labs instead. Since their are not many people producing them.
