good idea?

[danny662boy]

i have a super snow patty het LV... i really wanna get a female raptor. and possibly breed them... would this be a good idea?

 

[Tony C]

Nope, bad idea. Mixing albino strains is highly frowned upon.

 

[danny662boy]

y is it frowned upon?

 

[danny662boy]

they produce sweet offspring?

 

[Tony C]

No, they produce normal offspring which are het for both albino strains, which is nearly impossible to sort out. Take a look at the "Muddy waters" thread at the top of this subforum for a good discussion.

no you can't tell the difference between the different albino strains or know what your going to get with a double het albino. It has the potential to mess up a breeding program if you sell them without telling people. If you do it your reputation isn't going to be good, lets just put it that way.

 

[HHGeckos]

very bad idea, because the offspring will be het for two albino strains, and if you sell them it will take several generation to prove out for what kind of strain. Thera are more than one thread about this, you should read them.

simply said it´s ah no go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright thanks for the update...and i read that muddy waters post too... i guess my question is then like someone else put.. y do breeders cross albino strains?

Typically error or ignorance.

ok so then would crossing an Enigma to my super snow patty het lv be a good idea? and what would they produce?

 

[Tony C]

Assuming the Enigma has no hets and the Super Snow is pure Mack, the offspring would be half Mack Snow Enigma het patty possible het LV and half Mack Snow het patty possible het LV.

 

[danny662boy]

ok so plain enigma is a good idea? no tangerine enigma?

My suggestion is to take your time, do a lot of research, figure out what morphs you want to produce and go from there. You will be much more successful as a breeder if you get a solid handle on the genetics first.
