morphs, hets?

Thanks for the compliments on that little girl. She is one of my favorites.


You might want to check Kingsnake.com under the ball python section. Should be able to find 2006 hatchlings for $500 a pair shipped to your door.

Good luck but remember, you won't be able to stop with just an albino ball python. LOL.:D
You'll want more.

Yes you do as well as albino spiders if I'm lucky.:D

If ya can't afford to buy 'em, you just gotta make 'em. LOL.

I would just like to, hopefully, clear something up that always irks me when genetics get brought up. Here is a textbook definition of Heterozygous:

Heterozygous
An organism is a heterozygote or is heterozygous at a locus or gene when it has different alleles occupying the gene's position in each of the homologouschromosomes. In other words, it describes an individual that has 2 different alleles for a trait. In diploid organisms, the two different alleles were inherited from the organism's two parents. For example a heterozygous individual would have the allele combination Pp.

With that said, there is a such thing as Hets in dominant traits. A Pastel is actually a Het for Super Pastel. Once you understand the definition of Heterozygous, it makes it alot easier to figure out punnet squares, and also answers many peoples questions about what do I get when I breed a pastel to a pastel and what do I get when I breed a Het Albino to a Het Albino. The squares for those two breedings look identical if you have a basic understanding of the terms.
Hope that didn't muddy it up for anyone,

Thanks Tim. I was going to post that. It erks me when people scream "Pastels don't have hets". Pastels ARE hets for supers, and once this concept of "visual hets" for codominate Homosygous supers is discussed, I think it makes it easier for people who are unclear about genetics to figure out.

thanks to the both of you for clarifying up the information. good to have the correct info then negative info. thanks again!

I know this thread is old, I didnt want to be a thread whore and make a thread for one question.

If youve bred a spider to a piebald and the piebald laid 4 eggs. whats the outcome. 2spiders? 1 het pied?, 1.1 het piebald?
