My Lava Line animals. These are the result of crossing Chambers line reds and Shanklin albinos. I was quite pleased with the outcome from the start and they get better and better every season. The have NO extreme line blood in them and are just as red. This is not a dominant color gene. It is a polygenic trait that is made stronger and becomes nicer every generation through selective breeding just like every other red line out there.

No-albino version.

Nice, my eyes hurt. I love them all, but that last one has activity with its coloring. Really nice.

Nice! Now that is red. I agree, those are spectacular. Those are without question the reddest albinos I have seen. Most, as you alluded to previously, are far more orange than red. I also agree with Frank, there is something about the depth or intensity of that non-albino that is pretty special too. Have you made F2s yet with your best, first generation Chambers/Shanklins? Thanks for taking the time to post shots of those beauties!

Wow, amazing Gregg. Vibrant colors in both the albinos and that normal. I really like that normal, very interesting colors going on!
