Albino Roswell/Motley too...

boaphile May 20, 2011 08:02 AM

I know I was holding out on ya... lol

This is the father of the litter produce yesterday:

He was a possible het Albino. The mother of the litter is a typical Motley that was, until yesterday, also a possible het. Neither one has any of the outward signs that they may be het for Albino and I frankly did not get either one of those animals with that in mind. So when I found Albinos in the litter, I wasn't shocked, but I was a tiny bit surprised as that is not where I was going with this breeding. IT would have been plenty for me to have had just a nice healthy litter of these Roswell/Motley puppies without any Albinos. That is the icing on the cake now.

In the picture above you can see two Laddertails at the top, a Roswell/Motley normal on the right, a normal Motley on the bottom right and an Albino Roswell/Motley on the left. It took me a little bit to think through what was what in this litter, but I think I have a good handle on it now.

The combo babies have saddles that are like the saddles seen on some of the Super Roswells that Heather Martin made a number of years ago. Several of them had a saddle here and a saddle there. These of course have plenty of saddles, but there is that same sort of look.

Plus I could not find the pictures of them but it seems like some had saddles that didn't quite make it all the way across like the Albino in the picture above and also shown below:

This was the first time I have produced any Albino Motleys too so I am pretty happy about that. Here is a really nice Albino Motley littermate:

There was also a Paradox Albino Motley in the litter:

The black smudges on this guy is pigment not newspaper ink.

Pretty much a great day to be a boy kid. lol
