Het albino retic question

[Squirtle]

So, lets say the tiger retic might just be a regular tiger bred to a normal purple albino, will the babies come out tigers 100% albino or what? Sorry I'm not too good with genetics lol

I would say Tiger 100% het purple, some will just call it 100% het Clark strain albino. A friend of mine did het purple to het purple and all of his visuals were purples, he's not the only one to get those results and he's repeating that breeding again this year so we'll see if it holds true I guess.

It's a tiger het Albino Type 1(lav, white,purple). That's if memory serves correct.

I don't care who sides with who, just link me it in PM as that's a different topic, sort of.

So you're passing on information that is debated currently as factual?

The part I don't understand is that Bob Clark's original albino male when bred back to his het daughters produced ALL three lav, white, purple in the SAME clutches. So how does that not continue on?

Unless, through selective breeding, people have removed a certain gene from some of them. It would still hold true though that you could end up with a grab bag of retic albinos since it's only been roughly a decade of "serious" retic breeding on the large scale like ball pythons.

Here is Bob Clark's article on his first albino breedings. 13 years ago. Still a solid article.
