Again, thanks Travis for posting these as I'm starting to get overrun with requests,lol. From the f1 posted a few days ago, these are all sibling f2s except the bottom pic which is the sister f1(gravid). The first pic is a ruby-eye albino with what I believe to be a DOUBLE albino(red eye and ruby eye)as you can see the difference in eye color and somewhat in pattern color. The 2nd pic is of 2 "poss hets" from the same clutch showing variation from orange to yellow. The 3rd pic shows the difference between the "reg"red-eye albino and what I believe to be a TRIPLE RECESSIVE (red albino, ruby albino, and axanthic). Note the orange pattern on a creamsicle background. As a born skeptic, I have done all the homework on this line back to the WC grandparents and they are pure yellow. What pattern retention and variation within these animals is amazing. I believe the f1s to be triple hets which I hope to prove next year. The exact genetics will be a mystery until then,lol. As a guy liking options, nothing beats getting up to 8 different looking babies from a single clutch. And they arent even corn snakes,lol! I hope to get some better pics soon. Let me know what you think,Jeff
