This should be my last litter of the year. I think it could be my best yet! I bred my albino 66% het snow to a hypo from Alex Smith. I know I have 8 hypo's but I think that 2 are ghost? I also think I have 4 anery? This is at first glance. I know the genetics are not there for the female... But, crazier things have happened.
I just walked in and checked the female b/c she had dug out a nest like structure in the bedding yesterday. So, I will take more pics when I get them cleaned up...16 total...1 slug....YAHOOOOO!!!!!

It looks to me like the Hypo was a DH Ghost.

If you do have any Anery's or Ghosts, not only did you prove out your Male as Albino het Snow, but you also "found" a bonus Anery Gene in your female. Not really all that surprising, the recessive genes do get "misplaced" in breedings. Sometimes a possible does not get listed since the possibility is remote. For example a albino 50% het Anery gets bred to a het albino, would the babies necessarily get labelled as 25% het Anery?

Wow, you even beat the odds for known het status. For a litter of 16 statistically would be:

2 Ghost (got those)
6 Hypo, het Albino, 66% het Anery (got those)
2 Anery het Albino (got 4 of those)
6 Normal, het Albino, 66% het Anery (only got 4 of those - bummer )

You should be buying a lottery ticket!!
