more Hypo Ksb

I got three of these in this last litter, however one is not looking so good. The first one looks pretty good though!

Super cool, were these from the same patents as the first? If so how many normals and hypos have they produced in total? I'm just curious if the math suggests they are recessive.

Again, very cool.

These are the first ones produced by this female. The female who has produced the others is a sibling to this female though. Two years ago I breed both of these females to the same male and recieved the first hypos, however this female produced only Albinos normals and axanthics. This year she was breed back to a really nice p albino that she produced in that breeding. The first female also produced one other hypo looking baby this year.
Both of these females alway seem to have fairly small litters of really big babies. In the first litter this year that included a hypo looking baby there were; two p. albinos, one P. snow two axanthics and four normals, no slugs or stills. This litter only had two normals and the three hypo looking babies three slugs and one still(normal). I'm hoping two pair two hypos together this next spring, I thinks she'll be ready by then.X

Damn your animals have some kinda complicated geneotypes! Guess you dont like having single hets?

The hypoXhypo pairing will be very cool. Heres to hoping for a new morph.

Yes they do. I really wish they didn't actually. It has me changing my mind all the time. lol
new morph ??
new combination of morphs??
just another ksb??
line breed trait??
codom??
recesive??
I'm leaning toward recesive now, but for a while I was thinking codom. I am pretty confident that we have a breedable morph but there is still quite a bit to sift through. I need an adult male, totally normal, not het for anything but I don't think I have one. LOL.
What ever it turns out to be it is totally different than anything else out there and IMO it is a stunning KSB.
One nice thing about them is that at this time, none of the older ones show any sign of flecking, they are staying very clean with a lot of contrast.
(I'm not sure if I've posted this updated pic of the original)

LOL, I know what you mean about het for nothings. Even my least het male is still poss het for anery

Like you I suspect recessive. Kinda reminds me of the ghost San Felipe, can you see much of the background orange/yellow compare the rest of your collection?

But, whatever it is, I agree they are some stunning KSBs.

Best,
Vinny
