I was the first to breed the NE axanthis into a Lemke axanthics. At that time I also bred the hypo Beard line to the Love line. Both these produced hypo and axanthics but here is what I think.



Just because you have two similar alleles does not determine if you have a line. OR DOES IT?



For instance it was discovered that the hypos brooksi popping up in everyones collection a few years ago could be traced back to the Loves w/c animals.



On the other hand, the axanthics have not been traced back to any single source. So are they a line? Share the same father? hmmm.



Now if you look at the compatiple axanthic line from BHB Enterprises you will notice this is a very different looking axanthic.Yet they are compatible with the other axanthics. (Line?)



I also bred a whitesided Black ratsanke (aka- Licorice Stick) to a Whitesided Everglades (aka-Ghost Glades) a few years back. The babies came out all Whitesided. Are they a line? Same strain?



If you breed a albino corn to a albino Calif king the babies will all be albinos. Line? Strains? Related?



LOL! Which bring us full circle back to hybrids.
