I had a long reply to this post and then the ssnakess.com site when down (again) and wiped out my post. Here it is again from what I rememeber.

You are correct. When I breed the White Back albino I will produce het Albinos and some of them will be black stripes. I don't plan on breeding albino to albino, so whatever I breed her to I'll produce hets (but more likely double hets).
Marc B,
Yes, hopefully I do produce Lucy's from my Lesser male! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a Lesser platty male that was father from the Platty male (Platty Daddy). Ralph only produced lesser females from the Platty Daddy but no males. Otherwise I would have gotten one direclty from the platty daddy. However, to increase my chances of producing Lucy's as well as "Platty Daddy's" I picked a male from clutch number 39 (

This should increase my chance of my male having the genes for Lucy and platty daddy. I have a pair of Lessers from the Platty Daddy on my wish list for the 2004 season.

I plan on breeding the Genetic Stripe and Lesser Platty males to as many females as possible. I'll mainly be breeding them into other mutations to produce double hets. When I bought the Lesser from Ralph I told him "I'm going to breed him into everything!". I'll keep back all of the females and sell some of the males. I'll basically be breeding them into all of the mutations that I'm dealing with. Hopefully we see some neat things pop out in 3-5 years.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
