Breeding different albino strains

[Josh P.]

Greetings,

What would happen if breeding an albino for a specific strain with another leo that would be het for a different albino strain? Would the hatchlings die, produce unknown genetics, or what?

I'm not considering to do it, obviously, just asking the more experienced breeders in here in order to understand the genetics and what would actually happen if someone did that by mistake.

Its been done.
A 'Bubble gum' albino is both Tremper and Bell.
Its very frowned upon. (but cute)

So there is no risk to the health of the hatchlings? Are the different albino strains not incompatible?

Also, why is it so frowned upon? Just trying to understand...

from what I have researched there is no ill effects of breeding two different albinos together except for having most of the gecko community mad at you.

As for why its frowned upon so much:

that's what i was gonna say read muddy waters, it should help you in choosing breeding pairs, I know its making me think twice about the next couple I choose
