Fatal/deformed phenotypes

sparke303 Jun 25, 2006 09:38 PM

I was thinking about something, and it may sound a bit wierd. But if you have any recollection or knowledge of fatal phenotypes or common deformities related to any particular morphs or crosses of morphs, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Kinked tails in homo x homo xanthic albinos, for example. I seem to remember something fatal about lavendar albino x albino...did that turn out to be bad luck, or has that been confirmed? Things of that sort would be appreciated. Thanks.

Supposedly someone in Asia crossed regular albino and lavender and produced normal living babies so it might have just been bad luck with the first couple RDR attempts.

There are a number of dominant type morphs for which a proven viable homozygous has not yet been publicly unveiled.
