Soooo overdue...Soooooo worth the wait!

I can't believe I was thinking of cutting these two open! Both were HUGE eggs, and both were almost 2 weeks overdue to pop. Woke up this morning, and found this surprise. TOTAL surprise! This is my first RW to hatch, I wasn't even breeding for them! I knew Dad was a Het, but apparently mom is too. This being my first RW, can someone good with albinos confirm that's what it is? Both are almost 3 grams each already, and super active. I may even see if they'll start on crix tonight. I just can't get over the surprise! What luck!

those are awesome..Congradulations.

Congrats! Looks like it is probably a RW. You had no idea the mother was a het? What morphs are the parents?

Actually these two are the result of a father/daughter pairing. Dad I knew was RW het, or at least he was sold to me as one, and I have never questioned it. (JL purchase several years ago.) Mom is actually his two year old daughter, a jungle, by what I thought was a normal, but apparently has some jungle in her. I kept only one from that year, and even let her full stripe sister go, so I figured with a 1/4 chance that any baby was a het, I figured Murphy's law says I sold all the hets, and pretty much forgot about any RW traits, since I was working for the stripes and jungles. I completely forgot about those hidden hets until I opened the incu this morning. Any math majors out there can tell me the chances of this? Not only was mom at het now, but there's still only a 1/4 to get both RW genes in a baby, right? So 1 in 16? First baby from her ever, and look at that. I'm psyched! And it does not look at all like my tremper did as a baby. I honestly thought it was a superhypo (my other line, I was wondering if I mislabeled eggs), until I remembered that Dad was a RW het.

Great color they are adorable! Congrats on the surprise !

I love the design and colors! Congrats!

Lookin' good. I'd wait 4 days until the first shed to feed, have never had one feed before that.

Lisa, nice to see some babies.

The dad was a het RW that left his offspring, from a breeding with a normal female with a 50% chance of being het for RW as well. You just proved that the female (his offspring) is 100% het though. So from a 100% het to 100% het bredding you have a 1 in 4 chance of producing albinos.

Congrats!!

Also thought I'd mention that the non albino sibling in the picture is 66% het for RW albino.

Congrats on some beautiful babies !!
What a nice surprise for you !!
