"Thanks ! Those are going to be some nice ones . Did you breed any APTOR or Het female/s ? Just curious because someone else has Aptor-ish babies when they should have only been hets."
Well let me ask you this... did someone else breed the aptor to a non het animal that was striped or reverse striped. if so this is another indication that aptors may basically be nothing more than patternless stripes. stripe to reverse stripe breedings will produce patternless type animals and the aptor would be the albino version of those pairings. hence the "new" patternless morph....
We've had aptors hatch from aptor x aptor, aptor x het, what looks to be aptors from aptor x striped albino, and what looks to be aptors out of aptor x rev stripe het albino.
alberto has pretty much confirmed my suspicious and he should be able to prove all of this before us.... after speaking with him i felt more confident that the patternless orange albino animals we have hatched are indeed aptors. but again, not proven. these animals would need to be bred together to see if raptors were produced and so forth. if this is true however many who thought they could not obtain or produce one may actually already have the makings to do so...
All I can say it is a very fun project, the "mystery" or uncertainty with them can be aggrivating at times but stumbling upon things to confirm such theories is good progress and makes it worth while. its a tough call though, as we've all seen many animals that look to be aptors are sometimes merely hets.... or thats what ron has called them. either way all of us should have alot better info next season.
and thanks for the kind words....
