I was hoping to see you respond to this post. I know you know your genetics in and out. So thank you. However i do have a question for you. Towards the bottom of your post you redid the genes of the snakes:
I believe you had the arabesque het albino as h'h'Rr'Aa being that this parent does not carry the hypo gene, why do we need to list it and not just have the genes that we know it carries, being arabesque/normal/albino????

Same thing with the sunglow, you had listed as Hh'r'r'aa, why do we list arabesque as a gene in this snake when he does not carry it?

That part kind of lost me because we are listing genes in the snake that it does not carry, but rather its mate carries. I am just under the frame of mind that we list the genes the snakes carry, and they combine to create those kind of genotypes. If you don't mind Paul, send me an e-mail at Nucci451@ameritech.net I would really like to learn this from someone who seems to have a handle on it, as you do!
Thanks again
