My female hypo? from the Boawoman had her first litter yesterday. 30 healty babies, 2 slugs and one stillborn. After speaking with Sharon from the boastore and Mike from Basically Boas I knew that the trait appeared to be a simple recessive gene.

All the babies in my litter came out normal which would make them 100% hets. I bred her to both an outstanding normal male and a 100% het for albino. By looking at the babies I would have to say that the het albino is the father, but who knows for sure.

I think this is going to be a fun project to work with.
