Triplets & much more....

They didn't survive but the rest of the litter is pretty amazing. I bred an Albino (DH Snow) Super Tiger to an Axanthic (PDH Snow) Super Tiger & produced the craziest litter I have had to date. The first egg pipped and the neonate looked a lil' premature so I decided to wait to the others pipped to cut them. The animal that pipped appeared to be a Pastel so I wasn't sure if it was underdeveloped or actually a Pastel. After the second egg pipped on its own, I cut a second egg open as it also looked like it might have problems. Low & behold three small crazy patterned babies all in the same egg. I've had twins a couple of times but this is my first time seeing three in one egg but it gets better. The third egg I cut contained an Axanthic Super Tiger. The fourth, a normally coloured Super Tiger. The fifth egg exposed what I imagine a True Ghost Super Tiger neonate to look like. It may even be a Pastel as I couldn't see the head. The egg that pipped & the last I cut open contained a Pastel Ghost Super Tiger?!?!?!?! Neither parent was a Pastel or was supposed to carry the Hypo gene as they were produced from animals I originally produced....very strange to have two existing mutations spontaneously reproduced in this litter but what a blessing!!

So neither parent had Hypo; Neither parent was Pastel; Both parents were Super Tiger...

In this case all of the offspring should be Super Enchi at the least!!! If there was in fact a different father then all of the offspring would have been at minimum Enchis... In your pics, the other offspring looked neither enchi or super enchi...

Also, If the big combo has Pastel in it and gained it from a previous father, the snake cannot be Super Tiger; It would be Pastel Tiger...

Too many impossibilities!!!

Can you let us all know what exactly you are calling a Super Tiger? I have heard the term in Retics but not balls.

What came first, Mr. Science, the snake or the egg? Do you not realize that a mutation is something that spontaneously occurs? Where do you think the first Albino came from? It didnt come from an Albino, silly. It just happened. Just because you or I don't understand it doent make it any less true.

Actually the first Albino came from Bob Clark that he imported...lol...I know because I held it...
I am not trying to slam you or show any disrespect...just needed more input...I think there awesome just got a little confused at first...congrats on the morph

.....very cool. My point being, the first Albino had to spontaneously occur as does any mutation....wild or captive
