Hi! If I was to bred a regular ball python with a het albino, what would the chances be to the clutch being anything special? Or if two het albinos were bred?
Also I have 3 regular ball python, 1 male, 2 females, I know that the two females are cb, but was told from the previous care taker of the male, that he was wc in witch she was told from were she purchased him. It was pointed out that he has two scales that are completely yellow and one that is partially. Any indication on what this may be or represent. There is a picture in the photo gallery of the two scales.
Any information is helpful, thanks.

A normal bred to a het Albino will produce 50% hets for Albino; which means, out of four eggs two will carry the Albino gene. As for het x het, you will get one visible Albino and 66% hets; which means, out of the remaining three eggs two will carry the Albino gene. These estimates are based on a four egg cluth. Check out Markus Jayne's new genetics page for more info. I will post a link at the bottom. As for the scales, morph wise I dont think you have anything. But you can breed him to see if it is genetic. I hope this helps.
