I posted in yesterday's thread about there not being any known tyrosinase negative albino boa constrictors.

It might help put over the dominant/recessive/codominant thing if you made a table 4 rows x 4 columns.

(blank cell) | 2 mutant genes | 1 mutant gene paired with 1 normal gene | 2 normal genes
Dominant mutant gene | (combination of columns 2,3) Snake does not look normal | Snake looks normal
Recessive mutant gene | Snake does not look normal | (combination of columns 3,4) Snake looks normal
Codominant mutant gene | snake does not look normal | Snake does not look normal and does not look like the snake with two mutant genes | Snake looks normal.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do a table on these forums.
