Travis, is that the lone egg from the 2nd clutch? THey seem high on the male side(10.3)but I have at least 3-4 DIFFERENT looking albinos as these are not double het but I believe TRIPLE het! I have 2 "normal" looking male albinos that are yellow/cream with red eyes. I have a ruby-eye albino(purple and yellow)male. There is also a grayish ruby-eye albino(poss axanthicX ruby)male. There is also one that looks like yours which I believe to me a DOUBLE ALBINO--both red and ruby with red eyes being dominant--male. And to top it off there is a flourescent orange on creamsicle red-eye albino which I think may be triple recessive...but only time will tell on these as its REAL mixed up,lol. Even the normal ones look screwy as the juvenile pattern seems to be dominant as well ranging from straw yellow to a nice bright orange. They are still metamorphosing so who knows what will come. The original female layed 11 slugs in her first clutch(my awful breeding year continues)but is breeding again now. I also have the sister to the f1 and she is gravid, due next week. I have started to outcross them to "normal" looking yellows in an effort to increase female availability and try to drown out that juvenile pattern which frankly makes the hets not so pretty. Can you help in posting some pics? I'm still a computer dummy,lol,Jeff
