Albino lavender retic

[robert7107]

So is the albino lavender retic a carrier for both white and purple phase albinos?

Albino is a recessive morph and you can have either white phase albino or purple phase albino. If the snake has one of each gene then it is a lavender albino.

The white and purple albino genes also share the same allele as the recessive mocha gene, so one mocha gene + one albino gene makes a mochino.

Think of lavender and purple as a co-dominant gene attached to the albino gene. The lavender is the co-dom and the purple is the super. So one copy of the gene gives you lavender, two gives purple, and if you don't have any then you get a white albino.

So if you have a purple albino and breed to a normal then you get het albino het purple (one copy of the purple gene). If you breed an Albino Lavender to a normal you get het Albino and 50% het for lavender (50% chance of getting one copy of the purple / lavender gene). And you can't separate the lavender / purple from albino, it acts as a separate gene but you can't get a stand alone purple without the snake also being albino.

Yes. Lavenders carry one of each allele.

Basically lavenders can make purples and whites. Whites will only make lavender and whites. Purples will only make purples and lavenders.

This is for Clark strain. Amel is a different story.

I'm breeding a purple albino to a white albino. All the offspring will be lavender. I'm planning on holding back two of the babies and breeding them together, should make whites, lavender and purple.
