With all the skepticism on the wisdom of purchasing possible hets I thought I would post a pic of an albino in an egg I slit today on day 59 of incubation. Actually I appear to have two albinos in the two surviving eggs from a small clutch (three went bad pretty early on).



Perhaps we can start a list somewhere of sellers who's possible hets proved out? Of course with possible hets one would expect a lot of them not to prove out without any deceptive selling practices involved. However, when the odds work out it confirms that the seller wasn't just marking normals as possible hets as some buyers speculate that some sellers might do.



I produced my 50% possible het albino mother of this clutch using a NERD 100% het male. The father of this clutch was a 66% chance het albino produced by Paul Newstead and sold by Joe Dembinski. The father also has a 50% chance of being het for Jolliff axanthic but it will take years for me to get back to you on if that possible het gene also worked out for me.
