#1. Where did thay come from?
#2. Are they related?
#3. What do they look like?
#4. How fast did they grow individually?
#5. What do the grandparents look like and were they strong ?
#6. Do you want all albinos or just hets?
#7. Is there anything significant about the hogs that you are interested in other then albino and het albino and did the parents share any of the qualities you seek?

I am very impressed by your obvious Knowledge but I have three snakes and I couldn't begin to answer your list of questions. I am not trying to win an award or create a new species I just thought thAt someone could answer what I thought was a relatively simple question.

I'll try to respond though as you were nice to reply. They were from same breeder and are about three years old. One is extreme red, one is het for albino and one is high orange. From same breeder so could be related. I have no information about any of their relatives. I like the red so would like to continue that. I am getting an adult extreme red male for the orange female.

breed all the females! males can breed 2to4 females easy. 5 has been done but i would not breed more than 5:1(F:M). You dont want to spread the male too thin.

Breed him to both. This will probably get more responses but I bred a male last year to 6 females and had all 6 females lay 10-14 fertile eggs and half of those females double clutched.
