convict questions!

[Jory]

answers would be GREATLY appreciated

1.) are pink convicts xanthic, leusistic, or amelanistic?

2.) if you breed a short body con to a regular will you get:
a. a mixture of shortbody, regular, and all sizes between body styles.
b. hetero for short body regular cons.
c. shorter bodied regular cons.

thank you to anyone that replies in advance

I'm not sure on number 1 but the rest would seem like it would be mixtures, not 100% on either side.

1 they are albino

they arent albino, they lack the red eyes. here, refer to this quote from oddball:

This is off the top of my head. Please let me know what I've missed.

Albino: Lacking pigment.

Amelanistic: lacking melanin (black pigment).

Aposematic: Warning coloration.

Chromophores: Cells responsible for holding pigment.
Xanthophores: produce yellow pigment.
Erythrophores: produce red pigment.
Melanophores: produce black pigment (melanin).
Iridophores: Hold no color pigment but, hold highly reflective non-motile purine crystals that yield silver irridescent reflections.
Leucophores: Hold no color pigment. Motile purine crystals produce white pigment.
Cyanophores: produce blue pigment.

Erythristic: Predominantly red morph.

Flavistic: Sepia-toned background color.

Leucistic: lacking or mostly lacking chromatophores. Not a true albino (ie: colored eyes).

Melanistic: dark or near black (some markings can still be visible).

Piebald: Having patches of white.

Polymorphic: Having a natural variation within a single species. (eg: blue motoro ray is a polymorph of the standard non-blue motoro ray)

Tyrosinase-Negative Albinism: An albino whose cells lack tyrosinase (enzyme that synthesizes melanin) yielding a pale-white to creamy animal with pink eyes.

Tyrosinase-Positive Albinism: Synthesizes tyrosinase but, not melanin yielding a fawn or lavender (platinum) color.

Xanthic: Predominantly yellow color morph.

im pretty sure theyre leucistic, but i dont know 100% so i figured id ask.

i think they are leucistic.
i have bred a short body and regular and they all came out with a regular body.
