I just purchased her from DanTheFireman. He is such a great guy to get Leos from. He really knows his stuff. I have a Giant Tangerine Tremper male that I'm going to be breeding her with. I hope to eventually get some great orange hybinos. What do you all think?

P.S. Happy Holidays!

Hi,

I assume RW means she is a vegas (RainWater) albino. She's absolutely beautiful, but if you plan on breeding her to a tremper albino you should know they are not compatible genes. You will get normal (non-albino) babies that are double hets for vegas and tremper albino. If you breed the double hets together you'll then start to get albinos again. You will get some trempers, some vegas, some normals and maybe some "double" albinos (1 in 64 I believe it works out to), that is some albino looking leos that carry both genetic "abnormalities" for tremper and vegas albino. However you wont know which albinos are "double albinos" as all of the albinos will look similar.

Many people tried this mix when the two albinos first came out and found it wasnt worth the trouble and nothing spectacular occurred. You would need to prove the "double albino" by mating it with a vegas and a tremper. It would then produce albinos with both (although the babies would be "single albinos" het for the other variant).

If you aren't prepared for a three year breeding project I suggest you find a vegas albino of equal (similar?) quality. She is a beaut and you definitely want to breed her.

Regards,
John
