Re: Ummm what is he?
That means he carries the gene to produce an albino ball python when bred to another gene carrying snake.

Het stands for Heterozygous which means he carries half the genes needed to produce an Albino or in genetics terms Homozygous Albino. :gj::gj:
Congrats

Oh thanks! Yeah, the man did say that. The gene isn't dominate though, cuz he's all dark brown and cute! (heheheh he's turning two weeks!)
Wait...(sorry for my inexperienced-ness) is Ball Python a breed? It is, right?
Sorry! Thanks!

I got this wrong so I had to change it
Boidae is the family, Genus is Python, species is Ball Python I guess you could say Albino is the breed. I guess.
Been 10 years since I's classified animals.

Re: Ummm what is he?
Ball Python, or Python regius is the species...
Not a breed.

Wouldn't 'albino' be the morph or mutation?...
