I haven't seen it and am wondering how hard it will be to tell the differenc between them and a regular T positive. I know that there will be no black but wonder how much difference there will be in their overall color. I can't wait to find out though. This girl should help in that endeavor next season.

Jeremy stone did this year I believe he also produced a Hypo T positive motley.

The only one I have personally seen was produced by Mike of Basically Boas. This is a Paradigm T-Pos Hypo:

This beauty was produced less than one year after we all found out about the existence of the Paradigm Boas. Very cool stuff!

I'd love to see another Hypo T-Pos if it has been produced. If it hasn't yet, it will certainly be soon!

Jeff,
I thought the Paradigm you pictured was a Sharp Sunglow and Boa Woman Hypo Combo!

I have not heard yet that the Boa woman Carmel or Hypo as it is called....was compatable with the VPI T positive. Has that breeding been done?

I do realize that technically speaking the Boa woman hypo is a T positive gene, but The VPI T positive is the only one classed as such currently...Correct?

Thanks Andy

Of course the Paradigm Boas, Prodigy Boas, Sharon Moore Caramel and VPI animals are all T-Positive Albinos. This was discussed at length a couple months ago and clarified by Paul Hollander as far as science is concerned. The mutation they all exhibit is cause by Tyrosinase making them all Tyrosinase Positive Albinos. There are differing "degrees" in how this is expressed exactly. They are all simple recessive genetic mutations, as all T-Positive and the other unknown albinos are. (i.e.. Kahl and Sharp Albinos). Since the Sharp is compatible with the Sharon Moore Caramel it is probably T-Positive as well. I certainly am not saying that anyone has said such, but the classification of "T-Positive" or not is not a popularity contest. Nor is it a who identified there's as such first matter either. In a technical sense, the classification of these is not based upon the visual appearance but upon what is necessary chemically to create these different looks. T-Neg Albinos lack all black. T-Pos animals have some interruption of the production of melamine, but do not necessarily completely interrupt it in the same way that a T-Neg must. Several types of T-Positives exist. The compatibility of each of which is unknown but a very interesting question to ponder as well isn't it?

you sure that T s cant just be real hypos? was there absolute proof that they were t ?

Is a hypo possible het for central american T-pos, Jeremy Stone produced hypo motley t-positives of course using the same T-pos gene you are dealing with. He may even have had a few that were non motley, I can't remember.

they weren't hypos. I don't know where I got that idea. Must have been in a dream of mine.

this link shows a thread and a picture of a t-positive sunglow argentine.

theres a thread on ca t sunglows with some pics.

Now I remember

What are the parents of that animal?
Is that a pure nic or pure CA?
What male are you planning on breeding her to?
Aaron

Jeremy will share some post shed pics with us. She is a pure CA and I am going to breed her to my het T pos Nic.
