Supply and demand baby! |

I'm sure the breeder will end up hatching good numbers of both sexes and i'd prefer to fork out the cash for these than greens anyday....hopefully next season :wink:

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-05 Location: Hoppers Crossing Age: 29 | | | | Just a thought, but if you couldn't afford a pair of these, wouldn't you be better off purchasing a male for the fact that you could put him across a number of females, and therefore crossbreeding back the female F1 progeny to the original male? Maybe you might end up with a broader genetic base for possible het's and therefore more F2 albino progeny. (Don't know what the effects of inbreeding depression would be, but just a thought)
Please correct me if im wrong.
Cheers Rossco. |

Cheers Rossco. | That's the way I'd do it. You could also put your F1 males from one clutch with your F1 females from another female (half-siblings) and a quarter of the clutch would be albino. Of course, then you'd have trouble telling your hets from your normals in the other three-quarters........

| | | | It seems a bit risky to buy a pair this season... does anyone think the prices will come down as quickly as I think? how old does a darwin have to be to breed? | | |
