Het albino x spider?

If I put a het albino female with a spider male, what are my chances of getting a spider albino ball python? Thanks

Zero - unless your spider is het albino...

In this case there is no chance of getting an albino spider. The albino trait is recessive so it would take a het albino and a spider het albino to even have a chance at hitting the albino spider. You will end up with spiders pos het albino and pos het albinos with that pairing.

None. You would get:

50% - Normal 50% het albino
50% - Spider 50% het albino

You would need both parents to carry the albino gene to get a visual albino.

i have a spider 66% het albino, if i breed her with a Normal 100% or 66% het albino what would the odds be? should i expect normals,spiders, and possible hets, or could i luck out and get albino spiders??

You could possibly luck out and get an albino spider. If they DO actually carry the albino gene

100% het albino to 100% het albino gives you 25% visible albinos.


be aware that 66% possible hets slash down the chances significantly, until you hit your first visible albino. 100% het albino to 66% possible het albino gives just a 17% chance.

and 66% possible het albino to 66% possible het albino leaves an 11% chance to hit an albino.

proven hets and 100% hets are really better. the step from 66% to 100%, or managing to prove out a possible het, that really makes a difference.

The odds would be zero unless both prove out to actually be 100% het albinos.

100% het X 100% het gives you 1 in 4 chance PER EGG of making an albino

I hope you guys realized this thread is from 2010.:8: Looks like somebody has been doing some digging.
