I want albinos

mikedubb02 Mar 19, 2009 10:49 PM

I would like to get started breeding ball pythons and i have always been facinated with albinos. what are the possible ways for my hatchlings to be albino? do i need to have 2 snakes that display the albino coloring? or will 2 normal Het albino create albino offspring? or how about one het albino and one actual albino? please help out, i am very interested. Thanks!

I love albinos also! I hope to get some next season.

Het albino X Het Albino will get you a possible 1 albino out every 4 offspring or 25%. the other 3 have a chance of being het albino or normal so they are considered 66% possible hets.

Albino X Albino get you all albino babies.

Albino X het Albino gets half albino and half 100% het albino

in order for the babies to show albino they need an albino gene from both parents

I hope that helps
