It kinda resembles the one's that Sean ( CSM ) is beating himself up over, trying to figure out what he actually has. The ones he refers to as T+.

What did yours come from??

Last year I saw someone selling T+ corns, the animals were really nice, they had glowing red eyes. The eyes of this one do not look as bright as the supposed T+ corns, but maybe the brightness was lost in the pic?? Wonderful animal whatever it is!

Personally, I think Tyrosinase + corns with full albinistic distribution would be very difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish from regular amelanistics. The only way you would know is when you bred them together and got normals. If an animal is T+ with only a partial distribution (a piebald effect), that would be obvious, of course.

However, in relation to these pictures, that looks like a really light, ruby-eyed hypo to me. It has those very light purple/gray brofers rather than white. I guess it could be the computer screen I'm using, though.

How does it look in "real life" Rich? White outlines, or gray?

:confused:

For those of you not living in the world of the coffee difficient, "brofers" = "borders!

NOW you've gone and done it, Rich!!!!!

You've created YET ANOTHER type of Hypomelanism!!!

What is this, now....Hypo type C? K? L? LOL :D :rolleyes: :D
Just kidding!

Whatever they are, they are stunning!
Interesting how the head patterns on the two Amel-Hypos (?) are so similar.

When you figure out what they are, let me know....
I have a 2-yr-old female here that looks like a 'Sunglow', but has VERY faint etchings of almost-black, and eyes just lighter than you would expect for a Hypo.

Test breedings for her next year.
