Well I had my big female DH stripe albino drop her babies yesterday unfortunatly they were premature I don't think many will make it. She was bred by my arabesque male that was possible het albino and stripe, and he has apparently proved to be both het albino and stripe.

It was his first breeding and I got mostly slugs, but I also got 3 albinos 2 striped albino arabesques, One striper, one with a weird arabesque tail and some hints of striping and one normal colored poss DH that I know will make it (wiggly little guy). The rest I give about 50/50 chance...

Looks like the stripe gene really throws the arabesque pattern a for a loop, here are some pics..




This striped albino has an arabesque pattern untill it hits a blocky saddle from the stripe line and then breaks up into big saddles and stripes ending in a tail stripe.

This one has a funky arabesque looking tail

As they say there is always next year...
