Don't speak for me, I'm not confused at all.

[bkhuff1s]

Not speaking for you then

[ConcinusMan]

It certainly is!

No need to test. I am right and that's all there is to it.

wow! what a way to start my day! I dont even know what day it is anymore.. I think i see little birdies above my head lol.

But i think I get it!

Can I be a jerk and try to relate them to Ball Pythons??? to help my brain... let say there is albino AND a "high contrast albino" (which there is). Now when those two breed together they will produce albinos and some high contrast albino. Which means it is a strain or form of that albino. Compatible but not an actual second gene in play. Just a breed in "color phase" of the origional albino... most likley through selective breeding OR a "special" looking animal breed into the origional albino..?????????

please forgive me for relating to ball pythons..

Thanks for explaining the Xmas part! I'd wondered about it too. I have another question, though. Are there 3 strains of albino? The Schuett? (sp?) Or is that something else?

Im new but T.Radix has 2. Iowa and Nebraska strain. Iowa is compatible it the Illinois collected albinos... Schuett albino is in Eastern Garters.
