Hello everyone, I'll give you the jist of the story and then some pictures:

- I acquired a strange male BCI, and currently have a female from the same litter on hold. I was under the impression that they were genetic "Reverse Stripes". I had misheard and they are actually unproven, and can't be called Reverse Stripes. They are something different all together? however, I am happier with that honestly. Because then I have the chance to prove it out! (breeder is okay with this, as he wished me luck in proving it out)
- Six out of Eight babies for sale were the same as the male I acquired and some were even more dramatic. Unfortunately, this is the first litter from the pairing so there is no previous babies to compare to.
- Father is a Hypo Calico het Sharp Albino, Mother is a "normal" het Sharp

And now, on to the male I acquired and then the female I have on hold-
Male is 66% het Sharp Albino:

and, the female, who I still have to pick up BUT I have her on hold so, that's okay :)

She is a Hypo, (??), 66% het Sharp Albino:

There is definitely something going on here, from the parents looks though I'd assume whatever is happening is Recessive, I have some other idea's of what may be going on but I wont get into it xD

Let me know what you guys think, Thanks!

Thank you very much! To be fair though, the 2 parents don't belong to me. The 2 babies I posted, do xD However, the breeder is not going to pursue this project from what I understand (I remember him saying something to that effect), so I guess it's up to me lol.
