hybino pyro?

rtdunham May 04, 2005 10:49 PM

took this pic yesterday of my albino pyro female that i think is actually also hypo, and thus a hybino. she came out of a pair of brian barczyk's animals that carry both genes, so the double-morph potential is there.

I love the subtle but distinctive cream rings in the middle of each triad. I think she's one of my prettiest snakes.

I bred her this year x my hypo male--if all the babies are hypos it would begin to support the hypothesis that she IS a hybino (my other two albinos, and others i've produced, are boldly RED, distinctly different from this animal). However, the hypo male is also het/hypo, so on the downside, half the babies will be albinos, meaning only the other half have the potential to be hypos, so the sample size is going to be small. On the upside, half the babies will be albinos! If all the non-albino babies are hypos, and all the albino babies are this "pale" sort of albino, it'll support the hypothesis even if it doesn't prove it; it'll only take one non-hypo non-albino, of course, to prove this snake is NOT a hybino.

here's a second shot

peace
