For someone that like to be politically correct, you are wrong! If you did talk to Rich Ihle then you would know that tecnically he understands that a salmon het. for albino is just that. Not a double het! He uses the term because it is what most people understand. The term het. is a term most breeders use to describe a boa carrying a recessive gene, you would know that if you have been around, eventually you won't depend on your science book so much and learn how most breeders describe their projects. Now if you look at the terms Peter Kahl uses you would find that he describes a salmon het. albino as a het. not a "double het." Not everyone here tries to be politically correct. If you did do your research or tried to understand that breeders use certain terms not because of specific genetics but what people tend to understand or are familiar with. Everyone knows that salmons and arabeque boas have the potential to produce supers but that is a different story. Also, when most people think het. they think of a gene the whole litter will have.
