Imported Ivory
Some think that Peter Kahl's original leucistic might be an imported Ivory. I think I read that it's been bred at least twice but I don't think the results where released.
Depending on how randomly they are distributed, hets could be pretty common in the wild without producing many homozygous animals. For example, if 1 in 100 animals where het albino and pairings where random it would only result in 1 in 10,000 het X het pairs and 1 in 40,000 albino babies or about 3 or 4 a year out of around 150,000 ch babies. However, there would be 1,500 ch hets exported.
