If they are not within the 5th degree of relationship, I nor most consider them related, you have a wide genetic diversity from 6th generation and on... 5th to 1st generation would be cousins or closer. These babies are also not related several generations back or are they related to the ones that were hatched in January of 2002. I think het's exist more common in that area that many people realize and have existed for a long time, just not two of them in captivity bred until recently to produce albino's.



We have known for at least 4 years, almost 5 now, there where dragons in that area that were het and it was just a matter of time before they started showing up in captivity. Field researchers have found them several times, but sadly only the deceased bodies and in a wide range in New South Wales. There are several area groups of very pale yellow dragons there, hundreds of miles apart that have been found in the same area that deceased albino's were found in.



This past year I contacted several photographers that live in NSW and have been getting pictures of the pale gold and yellow dragons for months now from them (a lot of orange too and a few white)plus tracking the range they are in.



Hehe... Paul, wanna make a research trip with me?
