heres my question the california D.F.G. book states that you dont need a license to sell albino cali. kings or need the sellers permit number to buy them, so if my understanding is right. so if i have 2 albino breeders and some of the offspring are normals then would i need to get a permit to sell them? or is there some sort of loophole, just trying to cover my bases.
thanx, Warren

If you breed 2 albinos X each other...dont worry about normal looking babys hatching out...becasue they wont. I THINK I remember shannon brown posting he had some gophers-(both adults albino) and got a normal baby, maybe I'm trippin but I thought I read that by him in the past. I have never heard it from anything else so I wouldnt even worry. Good luck breeding the albino cals, they breed kind of ruff, you should watch them when you introduce them. Peace,

if both the albino cal kings have a resseve gene for a normal it is possible for a normal looking baby to hatch out but it will have the albino genes with it. (correct me if im wrong)

There is no reserve gene. The only way to get a normal from an albino to albino breeding (assuming there was no sperm retention from a previous breeding) is if the parents have albinism via a different mutation. In this case you get no albinos and a bunch of double hets for both forms of albinism.

As long as they are the same type of albino, you will be fine. I think you need a sellers permit though, which you need to sell anything that can have sales tax applied (I dont think you need it to wholesale though). Its easy to get and is free. If you have two different strains of albino, you won't get any albino babies, just double het for albino. Most likely, you will get all albino.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper stored up acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched tv. And then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus stole all his acorns, and he got a race car. Is any of this sinking in?
