Taking an enigma proven 100% het bell, het blizzard and breeding it to a Rainwater. Clarification please?

......other than enigma het rainwater blazing blizzard 50% het bell (just for the wise guyz like myself):main_laugh:
It's a dominant trait and you mean to tell me there isn't an enigma out there that isn't het! I'm sorry this drives up a tree. This is not meant to poke @ the person, for they are 100% responsible and ethical in disclosing the info. Big ups there! I just ask my self why???? :help:
while thinking of these poor people...

I asked that very same question when I saw the hatchling post, and got beat up pretty good for asking it. My intentions were only to find out what the exact reasoning was for such a pairing. Honestly, I can't think of a good reason to produce a leopard gecko that is het for multiple albino strains.

Sure, the original breeder is forthright with the genetics of the animal. But what happens if the purchaser sells the animal again later on. Will everything be disclosed then too? I believe pairings like this are just a bad idea and shouldn't be carried out. Remember, that's my opinion ONLY! ;)

If this isnt an attempt at trolling, I really dont know what is.

#1. if you are talking about US. It was an enigma DH bell & blizzard, to a RWBB. Had it been the DH enigma to a RW, then it would be 50% het for bell and blizzard. Learn some basic genetics. k thnx.

#2. If for some reason you think that we are the only person to attempt this pairing [to also end up with enigma het blazing blizzards, possible het bell] then you are also sadly mistaken.

If for some reason you think that we are the only/first people to cross albinos, or other genetics, then you are ALSO sadly mistaken.

If for some reason you think, that we are responsible for how individuals disclose genetic information when reselling animals that we produce, then you are sadly mistaken.

If for some reason you think that your opinion holds so much weight as to not get offend by an "innocent inquiry" such as this, then you are straight delusional.

Please find a hobby that does not involve starting drama.

K, thnx.

Opinions on this subject are fine to express. I have my own opinions too, we all do. There is no need to get too personal though, you all know the rules so do me a favor and follow em. I'll be watching this one. Thanks!

It really is an innocent inquiry. I'm also not interested in ego bashing or name calling.
With as much test breeding that was done with the three albino strains when they were first discovered. I think it is safe to say that keeping them as pure as possible is best for the breed. Each has it's own beautiful unique characteristics. There has been so much effort by people singling out the genetics involved with the enigmas that it must seem like a slap in the face to have them all jumbled up again. I'm aware that other people are doing it. So if everyone else is doing it, why can't I. Not a Very rational answer. They have been crossing the albinos long before the enigma scene yo! So my question again is why?

If for some reason you think, that we are responsible for how individuals disclose genetic information when reselling animals that we produce, then you are sadly mistaken.
am I mistaken? or do you not beleive in the snowball effect.
