hi everyone i just wanted to get the different ways to create the pearls. i know you can create it by breeding triple hets but is there another way? thanks

I think the best way to produce Pearls by breeding a pair of Ghosts Het Albino. You could also go with a pair of Hypos that are Het Albino and Anerythristic. The problem with the Triple Het pairings is that you won't know if you have a Pearl until you test breed your Snow/Pearl to a Hypo. If your Snow is a Pearl, you will get all Hypos. When you use the Ghosts Het Albino or the Hypos that are Het Albino and Anerythristic any Snows would have to be Pearls because both parents are Hypos.

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Do you know how many possible pearls have been test bred? How many, if any, have proven to be "pearls" (triple homozygous)? And if some have been proven and some dis-proven, what's the correlation between animals people were confident would be pearls because they felt they had some visual distinction, versus animals that had the possibility of being pearls but didn't appear to be anything but snows?
