I would say your breeding pair are het clown not albino, those are deffinatly clowns where did you get your breeders maybe they sent you the wrong hets? who cares tho id rather have clowns than albinos any day!

Thanks chongorojo!
Can`t complain getting clowns instead of albinos..
The strange thing is that i got the male het from
one place and the female het from another place..!!
Maybe the het female was paired with a clown before
arrival?!
But as you said:Who cares?

I think it is the IMG (increased melanin gene) at work. I believe in some cases it is a recessive trait. I have a lavender albino het who also is het for the IMG. He produced two IMG babies when bred to another het. I'm raising them up hoping they are also LA hets.

Oh Yeah CLOWNS!!

There is another possibility parthenogenesis??

I'd be keeping those clowns!!!! You never know one or both could be het albino too. NEVER KNOW!!!

Yeah, I'd say someone mixed up their het card on their cages.
Although, you can't say that's a HUGE problem. I'd settle for clowns.

Hi,

Since you paid for albino hets, I was wondering if you could sell me a male and female at albino het prices. I think the others are wrong these are clearly albinos.

Best regards,
Bill
