Ball Python Morph?

Pandia Sep 22, 2010 11:26 AM

My friends bred a het albino ball to an albino ball and one of the eggs that hatched has one thats weird. It's mostly albino but has some "regular" spots on it. Does this happen a lot?

Yes, that's called a paradox albino where the albino gene appears to "leak" and some normal pattern shows up. It happens with many different ball python mutations.

cheers, John
