Possible het for albino

dinodon Jan 04, 2008 06:08 AM

I bought a 33% possible het for albino 4 years ago, she is now ready for breeding. Is there any markers to tell if she is het or will I just have to wait and see.
Thanks for any reply.

Only way to tell now is to breed her to an Albino or a 100% het Albino. If you get an Albino in the off spring she is het, if you get 100% normal looking snakes then she is not. But good thing there is that if you breed her to the Albino 100% of the off spring will be 100% het for Albino. If she is not het and you breed her to a het you will get 50% hets, back to the drawing board!

Bad Odds/Bad Luck. Even if you bred her with a Visual/Homozygous or 100% Heterozygous you could produce all normal looking babies and just did not hit the odds. A second breeding season to a Visual would be a good idea just to make sure you did not just miss.
