    Re: First time babies

    Post pictures of the parents and we can probably identify them for you.

    Yes pics of parents please. If they are both "normal" looking then you proved them both to be het for albino just stinks your ratios could have been better.

    Intra are these purchased from someone and you knew they were het for albino, or are they wild caught?

    I caught them from the wild. What does 'het' mean exactly?

    Also, I live in Ontario if that helps identify them.

    Wow that is awesome, I'm not sure what the odds on that are but I'm guessing it's a bet Vegas would have taken. In order to produce an albino both the dame and the sire must carry the gene. Look at Jeff Benfer's website he breaks it down in a way that even this dummy gets it. The fact that you went into an area and collected to animals that happened to have been carrying the gene, pretty wild. Now maybe I'm getting ahead of things, few more questions. Did you know when collecting the two you had a male and female? If so, the female became gravid this year from bringing her in and the males courting of her. She was not already gravid? I'm guessing not gravid from the wild because the male would have had no interest. Pretty cool.

    Re: First time babies

    Well I found them together in a park, inside a backpack that was laying on the ground. At the time, I had no idea what sex they were, but later realized one was male and the other was female. I have had them for 2 years now (found them July 2013), and they have been living together in the same tank. But this is the first time he has successfully courted her and she has had babies.
