Because the albino gene wipes out the hypo gene made to make a ghost.......

Amelanistic (albino) is no black while Hypomelanistic is reduced black.......No black beats reduced black.......

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

It does depend on what subspecies you have though?

There is a double homozygot albino and hypo though called a hybino, but it is impossible or nearly impossible to distinguish it from an amel.....albino

ghost is a double homozygot(hypo&anerythristic) so i am guessing your female is actually a triplehet, and if that is the case you will get the gammitt from that pairing ghosts, albinos, hybinos, snows and or pearls fun stuff for sure.
good luck!

This is a pretty broad question when you are talking about kingsnake gentics in general.

What type of kings are they?

Here is a pic from that same pairing. The dad of this clutch is your male and the mom of this clutch is either your female or the female I still have.

2009 was the first year that Albino Ghost (Casper Cal Kings) were produced.

So hopefully this year you will get lucky and get that 1/16 that shows both Albino & Ghost at the same time.

You should get something like this picture.

i guess i could have called you lol

Also, not many people have Ghost Cal Kings. I have advertised them a few times and sold all but 4 from last year. I have 3.1 left over from last year and will produce more this year as well as Ghost that will be het for a lot of things.
