whats the outcome of the two?? i would guess normals het for albino and lab, but thougt i'd ask someone with better genetic knowledge than me

I think you will get all albinos 100% het for lab.

Het for both traits would be the result if they are both simple recessive traits. (albinism is) The only way the above guy would be right in saying that you'd have all albino's het for lab would be if your adult lab contains an albino gene. Even then, you would only get 50% albino's.

I"m not that familiar with burm morphs, but does a het for lab look different than a regular burm? If so,then it is not a simple recessive. I believe co-dominant is the correct term and you could expect normal burm babies that exhibit moderate amounts of the labrynth morphology. Somebody else would have to reply to get you those answers.

I dont think i have ever seen a het for lab...But as far as i know all hets look normal...

One post above was somewhat correct. An albino to a lab would give you all double het babies for both traits. They are both simple recessive traits but after you breed them..its complex after that lol. And the only way you would get any of either trait would be if one of the animals was het. for the other trait. It would not be co-dominant if the snake looked any different from the normals. In fact, co-dominant is a term used incorrectly by the entire hobby but I will not even get into that. What does often occur is a slight variation in the het. offspring (sometimes called "marker traits". With burmese pythons I have seen some look a little different than normal and I have seen many look completely normal. Either way they are not displaying either trait to any extent so you could not consider it to be what the snake market or the scientific world calls "co-domintant." Hope this helps.
