Is it simple recessive, dominant, co dominant, incomplete dominant etc?
Also are the different kinds of albinos totally different traits like if you breed a rainwater albino with an albino bell will it appear normal but het for rainwater and bell albino or will it be an albino

True jungles and stripes are line-bred traits that are still considered dominant. Remember, it's the dark melanin patterns that are the dominant genetic traits. If you bred a Tremper to a Rainwater or Bell albino, the offspring would look like normals, but would be het for albino. Now, the clencher is... which albino?

If they were two different albino traits the the double hets would make:
6.25% Normal
12.5% Normal het. Albino(Bell)
6.25% Albino(Bell)
12.5% Normal het. Albino(Tremper)
25.o% Normal het. Albino(Tremper) het. Albino(Bell)
12.5% Albino(Bell) het. Albino(Tremper)
6.25% Albino(Tremper)
12.5% Albino(Tremper) het. Albino(Bell)
6.25% Albino(Tremper) Albino(Bell) DOUBLE ALBINO?!!!!!!!!!!!

as per an article written by ron tremper in the march 2000 reptiles magazine , striped pattern is always recessive to jungle or wild type patterns
