Thanks Bucky! Once we get past my cheesy intro there's a lot of good "albino talk" to be done!
Hip - I did this with the old PF halfbreeds and it worked...most of the time. Once the fruits mature it's fairly easy to get tissue samples from both sides. The strange thing is that the chimera effect itself does not clone when both are taken. It will simply produce the vast array of fruits that it started from.
I have yet to try this with the Falbino..that's an older pic unfortunately. Next time it occurs I'll be sure and clone it.
another forgotten topic is the siamese twinning effect that was most noticeable with the early PF halfbreeds. I still see this on occasion even with the PFA and even with Falbino. I'll try and dig out that old pic to show an example.
Thanks again everyone!
