First off I have not bred even my first sunglow or snow (yet) so I am NOT an expert by any means.
My understanding of the genetics are in my feeble laymans terms:
Albino = absence of black pigment Anerythristic = absence of red pigment Hypo = Reduces the visual affect of the blck pigment and increases the affect of the red (maybe also increases the yellow?). From what I've read, nobody seams to know how this is working exactly, only speculation.
so:
Ghost is Hypo/Anery or no red pigment and reduction or muting of the black. fits
Snow is albino/anery or no red pigment and no black pigment or white (yellow) fits
Sunglow is Hypo/Albino or no black pigment and an increase in the affect of the red and maybe yellow. Fits
Snowglow would be Hypo/albino/anery or no black pigment, no red pigment and maybe an increse in the affect of yellow? Obviously only a guess.
I'm thinking the snowglow has two possible outcomes:
1) basically indestinguishable from a snow 2) very similar to snow except more of a glossy look? ----- Thanks,
