I thought it best to give up miss piggy (shown here with "flicker" the erythristic male) to Shannon since she recently acquired a male that is nearly identical to miss piggy.




If she can get them to breed, we will at least know that the offspring carry red stripe genes from both parents. Of course, when polymorphism is involved, there's no guarantees as to the outcome of the offspring. Still, it's all we have right now but even then, it's not a "morph" as we understand it. There exists only erythristic and melanistic for our breeding purposes.

I would have paid $400 just for offspring of that albino found last year, but now that's not going to happen. It will have to wait another 25-40 years until another albino is found and bred in captivity.
