what will be the outcome

[tncorns]

I have recently got a Albino Ball female and I was wondering what the outcome would be if I bred her to a 100% Het Lavender Albino Male. I am really new to this and Only understand the basics in gentics. I am thinking I will produce ALbinos het for Lavender Albino and Normals Het for Lavender Albino but I am not really for sure on this. Can some one help me out with this. And also what my ratio of normals to Albinos might be in a clucth. Thanks

I think it would produce 66% het lavs/ 100% het albinos.

100% het albino with a 50% chance they are also het LA. All world look normal. I would personally look for a different male to breed to her, like a spider or pinstripe.

So there wouldn't be any visual Albinos in the clutch.

I believe Beardedragon is correct. The Alibno gene, and the Lavender albino genes are seperate. There also would be no way to tell the het albinos from the het la's without proving them back, years down the road.

Oops, that should be 50% het lav...sorry

No, Albino is a recessive gene. In order to get Albinos you would have to breed her to a Het Albino or another Visual Albino.

With breeding her to the Het Lav the offspring will all be normal looking.

No albinos. All of them would look normal, but they would all be het for albino. Half of them would be double hets for LA and albino, but there's no way to tell which ones without breeding them to a visual LA. Then all those babies would be 50% het for albino, so that wouldn't be a very smart pairing imho. I would get a visual morph male, or a het albino male. It would take years of raising up hatchlings and multiple breedings to get a double visual albino/lav albino. I don't know what that would look like, but I doubt it would be more impressive than a regular LA, if that. If you really want to get a male het for your albino, I think a het piebald or het clown would be a better choice than a LA, but again I would probably get a nice pinstripe for her.

Thanks everyone. I have a het albino male and a het pied male also. But I really like the lav albinos as well as the albinos. You said something about a pied het male to breed to her. Will that not also create a clutch of normals that are het albino and pied ????

[PythonWallace]

It will make 100% het albino - 50% dh albino pied, all normal looking. But in the end you can end up with albino pieds. I just don't think albino lavender albinos would look different that either parent. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
