I have a female ghost not a dom ghost. What do I get if I breed her with a normal kahl albino???????????????

You will yield 50% hypo and all will be double het snow because the ghost is homozygous for anery and the albino is obviously homozygous. If your ghost is dominant you will yield all hypos dh for snow.

First off, I know it's widely used but describing the ghost as dominant or not is incorrect. Dominant refers to the type of mutated gene.

Dominant simply meaning the mutant gene is "stronger" then the normal gene and will be expressed even if only one mutant gene is present.

Correct terminology would actually be
1 hypo gene and two anery genes = ghost, het hypo
2 hypo genes and 2 anery genes = Homozygous ghost or Super Ghost
(could easily leave off the het hypo and be understood Ghost without the homozygous or super designation to only be het hypo)

I would except the usage of the slang term "super" to describe Homozygous ghost with the lack of super describing the ghost (het hypo). Better than mis-using a genetic term.

OK, enough soap box..

Ghost (het hypo) x albino

1/2 TH moonglow (Looks like a normal hypo but is also het for albino and anery)

1/2 DH snow (looks like a normal boa and is het for albino and anery)
