I know that an albino can't produce the pigment melanin.



I have been told that if you breed an albino with a lavender albino that the result will look normal; black and yellow (in king snakes)



Does this mean that lavender albinos have the gene to make melanin, but the "lavender" gene causes it to be supressed?



And there for the normal looking offspring will be double hets?

And these double hets could be used to produce albinos, lavender albinos or both?



Is one form of albino more desirable than the other?



Any information will be greatly welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

Araysnakes
