T+ albino genetics question

So I am sitting at work thinking about my t pos BCI I have, keep in mind I am not thinking about breeding him at this point just a hypothetical question. My question is if I took him and bred him to a visual t pos BCO female would I get visual t pos BCI/BCO cross or just a BCI/BCO cross? Thanks

Oh I forgot to add that what got me thinking about this was daybreakers pictures of a t+ BCO.

I don't know how the genetics would be vs T pos Colombian or Central American to a T pos Argentine but I can tell you that keeping things pure regarding Argentines is very, very important to those who work with them (myself included, but I'm a purist anyway). I would never pair my visual T positive male Argie to anything but a pure Argentine female, and wouldn't dream of putting him to any dwarf boas (Hogs, CAs, etc). I'd look into a nice CA female for your guy: maybe a motley het t pos or a hypo, or even another T pos to make some slammin' babies. Just my .02

Again not saying I want to breed just curious how the genetics of it would work whether or not it would be visual. I wouldn't actually mix the genes. Oh by the way beautiful BCO! I just love the way T+ look!

I agree with this 100%. I also have a male T+ Argie and I'm searching out a female Argie to pair with him one day. BUT I also did have the same curiosity as you do and I wondered how the T+ gene works in relation to the various localities. Everything I've found (which isn't much, lol) points to 2 possiblities:

1. There is very very little information out there about the T+ gene with exception to dealing with Central Americans. This suggests that crosses (at least with BCOs) have not been attempted or attempted very infrequently. So there's just not enough statistical evidence out there to point either way.

2. The gene is not, in fact, compatible between the various localities.

If someone has evidence that points one way or the other, I would be interested in hearing about it. Again, as Daybreaker pointed out, NOT with intent of ever crossing localities myself, but just to better my understanding of how the T+ gene works. I'll stress that I am one of the "purists". I firmly believe that the locality bloodlines should be kept as clean as possible in order to preserve these beautiful species as they would occur in nature.
