albino x albino question >>>

What would I get if i bred one really light tremper, to another not so light tremper albino, would all the babies be some type of compromise of the two, or would i get 1/2 really lights, and 1/2 somewhat light albinos??

kinda hard to tell really would depend on which albino gene was the stongest. Incubation temps and times also play a role in color. I would say you would get a mixture but hard to say which way or amount.

Do it and report back to us in a couple of years when you have some good data.

tremper's site says, and i've tried it, that the light/darkness of the parents will not affect the offspring and based on my experiences this is true. I have two dark trempers that i've bred, and when incubated/kept at high temperatures are some of the lightest albinos I have...inversely i've gone the other way producing dark trempers from light parents based upon incubation temps and cage temps...good luck!
