Banded Raptors ????

[atheris978]

I've seen "Banded Raptors" several times now.

I thought the "P" stood for Paternless.

What's up ?

Also what is the differance between an Aptor and a nearly patternless jungle albino tremper ?
I have seen animals that look identical, but labeled differently.

Thanks for setting me straight.

The "banded RAPTORS" are probably from Red-Eyed Jungle parents. You're right, the actual acronym "RAPTOR" does mean Red-eyed Albino Patternless Tremper ORange, BUT it has become a generalized word for 'anything with red eyes' either solid/snake/partial; hence "RERS" (red-eyed reverse stripe) is the accurate term for what others call "Reverse Stripe RAPTORS".

As far as the APTOR vs NEARLY patternless trempers, if its not 'patternless', then it's not an APTOR... for some reason "APTOR" has seemed to stay fairly specific. Normally if the offspring does not come from an APTOR or RAPTOR parent, and the breeder knows minds his p's and q's then normally they won't be labeled as such. If something is nearly patternless then it can't be an APTOR... but if you get a patternless tremper albino that is orange that is NOT from RAPTOR/APTOR parents, then I guess you could still label it an APTOR... but I'd be careful because people who do know the difference may think that you have false pretenses because it isn't from a specific pairing.

Hope this answers your question!!! Good Luck!

A "banded raptor" is much easier to say than "banded eclipse eyed tremper het stripe/reverse stripe" , but you are indeed correct that technically that's wrong by definition As stated above the raptor is a Red-eyed Albino Patternless Tremper ORange and the Red Eyed Banded Tremper(REBT) is mearly only het for the patternless stripe part.

I personally like red eyed banded Tremper, myself.

Banded raptors are red eyed tremper albinos to me
