...what are the breedings like. Are all the babies in the breddings the same do they follow other double morphs like snow and ghost in ratios?? Do you get what you would expect in these different looking animals??? I think you know what I am trying to say here. At this point enough animals have been breed to determine something.

>>Thanks Jason



JASON,



See my other posts in this thread. Yes, production would be the same as for other double morphs, snows or ghosts. (see my genetics page, link is below; hybino breedings would be same as snow examples for double hets)



Unfortunately, though we WISH enough had been bred to determine something, they remain AT THIS TIME visually indistinguishable from the other albinos produced from the pairing.



REMEMBER TOO when you're talking about them all looking alike, most people think hybinos are going to look a lot like TANGERINE albinos. That's not necessarily so. A hybino could just as easily look like a TRICOLOR albino. The only reasons people associate the tangerine albinos with hybinos are that:



a) (fact) the hypos we had to work with when the first hypo x albino crosses were made were tangerines, so they introduced a substantial tangerine influence into the albinos (which incidentally originated from tricolor lines and were still all tricolors at the time they were crossed to hypos) and thus a tangerine influence was bred by necessity into the hybino breeding efforts



and



b) (opinion) people found the tangerine albinos particularly attractive (and different from what they'd seen to that time, the tricolor albinos) so people tended to use more of the tangerine double hets for pursuing hybinos, knowing they'd get more tangerine albino babies that were more marketable/prettier, so that further skewed the hybino pursuits to tangerines.



But hybinos could just as easily be tricolors.
