Ok Cali Kings

the morphs avaliable are:

T- Albino (lack of black pigment... with pink eyes)

Lavender Albino (light and dark varieties... same gene different look , both have ruby red eyes not pink)

"Blue-eyed Blondes" i think it's a type of hypomelanism (hypo= reduced black)

and in recent times there's been discussion of an Axanthic (axanthic = lack of yellow pigment)


there are Ghost cali kings but i don't think it's a recessive trait.


Striping in cali kings is Co-dominant


how to morph work...

Snake Mutations are Homozygous

lets say you're breeding albino cali kings if you were to breed an albino to another albino that would be HomoZ to HomoZ which will produce all HomoZ (all albinos)

if you Breed an Albino (HomoZ) to a "normal" "wild type" you will produced animals that are 100% Heterozygous for albino (Heterozygous= normal looking but caries the trait)... when you breed 100% het back to each other 1 out of every four snakes will be HomoZ (albino)

now if you wanted to breed two different mutations together lets say lavender albino and T- albino ( both types of albino but the two genes are not compatible)

Albino X Lavender will give you all "normal" looking babies which are 100% Heterozygous for both albino and lavender... breed those hets back together and

Offspring are predicted to be...
4/16, Het for albino, Het for lavender
2/16, lavender, Het for albino
2/16, albino, Het for lavender
2/16, Het for lavender
2/16, Het for albino
1/16, albino-lavender (masked) double Homozygous (expressing both genes simultaneously)
1/16, lavender
1/16, albino
1/16, Normal

all albinos shoud be sold as possible het lavender
all lavenders shoud be sold as possible het albino
all "Normals" should be sold as possible het for albino and lavender

if you Breed a 2x Homozygous (albino-lavender)to:

an albino: you'd produce all albinos that are 100% het lavender

a lavender: you'd produce all Lavenders that are 100% het albino

an axanthic: you'd produce all normal looking animals that are 100% het for albino, lavender, and axanthic (i.e a triple Het.)

i hope all that makes sense
