Hi! I'm a new poster! I just picked up what appears to be a snow gopher from a guy on craigslist- he was not snake saavy, told me he got it at a reptile show maybe last year, not sure of age, variety, or much of anything. His ad said albino gopher snake and to my joy when I showed up it looks more like a snow gopher (I have an albino and normal- fun breedings ahead!)

Anyway, is the snow trait in gophers complex like in some other snakes, meaning does she have the potential for anery, albinos, and snows, or is it simple like albino where they are just het for snow if bred to normal?

I am asking partly because as soon as introduced to my other two she met with the affections of my normal male, and I'm wondering what kind of hets may I expect, then what might I get when breeding offspring back? Just snows, or ???

Thanks in advance!!
