T albino's are absolutely incredible and if anyone has any pics to share I would be delighted to enjoy them! I do not understand the genetics, so all you genetic experts share your info. Thanks Andrew Federico

Of gene carriers for that specific trait.(the same genetic theories that apply to recessive,tyrosinase negative albinism.) either,het X het...het X homozygous...homozygous X homozygous,etc...(you CAN breed a known het to a normal,and,have a 50% chance of any two subsequent offspring being het.)your chances of getting one through random trial combinations of unrelated animals are probably significantly better than Elvis stopping by for lunch...

Rose thanks for the awesome compliments! but,I'm certainly no genetics expert! I think it just seems to make sense to me,kinda like some people look at a math problem,and,the answer just seems apperant to them? actually,I've never had any formal education in the subject,but,I'm fascinated with the combination of logic,and the element of surprise that I've experienced in the short time I've been applying it to breeding reptiles...it requires continual reassessment,with a touch of "thinking outside the box",and,I like that! just when you think you "know" the answer,you're forced to re-evaluate the "question",and,look at the evidence in a different way.(thanks again!

Thanks

Hey Rainshadow-
Well im working on my BA in Zoology and looking forward to a trip to Veternary Medicine school and i just recently finished a transmission genetic course and you always seem to amaze me with knowledge... I just wanted you to know from a fellow biollogist that your knowledge in the subject is appreshated.... Keep the information following!
Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind

Here is the only combination that will result in Nicaraguan T positives this year!!! They're due August 1 and I'm hoping everything goes according to plan!!!
We are also hoping for a few combinations like these that will result in 100% het for T positives that will give another combination possibility for producing more of these beauties!! This particular combination is the smaller T positive male with my female Jablonski super stripe. Someday soon (years!!) we may see a super stripe T positive!! LOL
And here is a close up of the T positive female just prior to breeding season.

UNREAL pics! Man, if you produce T babies I'll flip. Best of luck on them plus the S-Stripe Combo. That will hopefully also produce something INSANE looking in the future! Great stuff Tom...
