>>What paul is saying is correct, every Boa that shows ANY melanin is Tyrosinase positive. It does not mean however that that animal is a T-plus Albino.

I guess I was just talking to myself out loud. LOL Wondering if you will. What I was getting at.........

If you can combine a Salmon which has functioning Tyrosinase, )T positive), and a Kahl albino which does not, (T negative), it indicates the mutations are not at the same locus. They combine just fine. Right?

Based on that, is it safe to say that the T positive albinos, and T negative albinos may very well be compatible mutations? I mean, if the mutations occupy a different location on the chromosome, seems likely they could be combined, right?

Just curious, as I still have much to learn about this stuff.
