    What Do T+ and T- Stand For?

    I've looked everywhere and I can't find the answer to this question!

    Unlike the t-negative albino boas where melanin remains absent throughout their lives, t-positive boas will produce a reduced amount of melanin as they mature. T-positive boas have functional tyrosinase enzymes required to synthesize melanin, but they lack a subsequent enzyme required to complete the melanin-synthesis pathway normally.
    He sums it up nicely. I knew what it was, but I didn't know how to explain it right. Hope this helps.
