you say breeding an ALBINO to a NORMAL ball python will result in..
"You can have a possibility of having one baby thats 100% het for albino,4 babies 25% het for albino,2 babies at 50% albino-2 normal."
thats WRONG in every way possible..
homozygous albino x wild type normal will result in ALL offspring being 100% het for albino. Every baby will get a copy of the albino parents gene, so all resulting offspring from a albino X normal are 100% het albinos..
you must have been thinking HET albino X HET albino.. which if they gave you 4 viable eggs, the genetic odds are:
1 ALBINO
2 66% het albinos (2 of the 3 resulting carry the gene you just dont know which ones)
1 normal
while thats the "perfect" clutch it is possible for you to get ALL albinos.. or all NORMALS.. the odds could go either way.. http://www.geneticswizard.com/
