FL King Genetics (Rainer)

I'm a bit lost here, and I can't see to find any information through google, so I figured I'd ask it here.

I've picked up two pairs of regular florida kings, a Hypo Brooksi and an axanthic brooksi, so I'm trying to get the genetics down.

I've seen pb hypo, flame hypo, regular hypo, pearl, snow, ghsot, etc etc. Can someone explain all of this to me?

What's the difference between pearl and snow? They look just about the same to me, except Pearl is obviously albino, and snow is not....which doesn't seem to make much sense.

Are any traits dominant or co-dominant, or are they all simple recessive?

A snake expressing axanthism and hypomelanism homozygously will be what?

Wow. A lot of questions in one post. I am going to give a short answer.

Pearl and snow are the same thing. Pearl uses a different axanthic strain. Snows are axanthic x lavender albino

Ghost is ax x hypo

Peanut Butter is codom with albino.

Peanut butter is not related to the hypo.

Hypo flames, regular hypo are the same except using different lines of hypos.

Thanks, Blue.

Could I have your email address so when I have other stupid questions I can email you directly?

I want to expand on the Brooksi stuff next year but I'd really like to have the genetics down before I go buying all sorts of stuff.
