but in cornsnakes and in great plain rats (emory), the gene is not the same one. So if you breed those two (corn and great plain ratsnakes) together with the hope of getting an albino, it won't happen. And these two snakes are very closely related, also. Like I said, don't know if it applies to the honduran/nelson breeding. I am pretty sure that with all the very knowledgeable milksnake breeders on this forum, at least one can help us out with this question about the compatibility of that albino gene in the two milksnakes.
