Albino & Pastel

When you breed these two will you get a % of albinos pastels and pastel Albinos or will you get all Pastel Albinos?
Thanks.Mike.

You wouldnt get albino pastels/pastel albinos at all since albinism is a recessive gene and pastel is co dominant. You would get about

50% normal appearing offspring -100% Het for albino
50% Pastel - 100% Het for albino

Thank You.Iam still working on figuring out the genetics but not having much luck.

This will help you understand the basics

As for the Pastel Albino it represent a few years of work invested in a project that is not very different from a regular Albino http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/ma...ino_pastel.asp

If you have an albino and a pastel het for albino you would get albinos, pastel albinos, pastel hets, and just hets right? Well you have a chance of these odds whether it works out that way who knows.

albino,albino pastel,pastel 100% het albino,100% het albino.......

this is not accurate.

Pastel x Albino:

you will get normal appearing offspring 100% het for albino
you will get pastel offspring 100% het for albino

if you breed the pastel het albino back to the original albino parent, you can make albinos, pastel albinos, 100% het albinos and pastels 100% het albinos.

If you breed the offspring together (pastel het albino x pastel het albino) you can get: super pastel albinos, super pastels 66% het albino, pastels 66% het albino, and normals 66% het albino.

You could also get pastel albinos and normal albinos from a sib x sib breeding
