Simple Genetic Question

Two 100% albinos bred together produce hets and albinos right ?

Yes. IF everything goes right, you should have
1/4 albino
1/2 100% het albino
1/4 normal
Therefore the "normal" appearing babies will be 66% het albino meaning that with the "normal" appearing babies will have a 2/3 chance of carrying the albino gene. 66% probable het and 50% possible het are just a gamble

You mean 100% HET albinos? They would produce albinos and 66% poss-het albinos. Two homogeonous albinos would make all albinos...no hets.


And this is assuming the boa albino gene works the same way the ball python's does. I'm not a student of boa morphs.

All co dom, dom, and res. genes are the same in boas and balls I am pretty sure about

Yes, sorry i meant 100% het albinos

I was just in the process of starting my first breeding project (pastel ball pythons) when i realized, the price im paying for a nice male i could get two het boas for just a couple hundred more. I still think im goin to go with the ball pythons but its nice to know about the boa genes.

Thanks !
