Hello,

I am just beginning to get into breeding and had some questions on two of my snakes that I can't seem to find anywhere else. I like to think I have a pretty good grasp on genetics however I don't understand the genetics on my mystic potion and my champagne, pinstripe, albino BP. Now I say ahead of time that even if I wasn't planning on breeding them, I would still own them because these 2 are beautiful animals.

First, how can you have a champagne (co-dom), pinstrip(dom) and an albino (recessive) in the same snake and it show visible traits of all three. It has orange eyes, a pinstriped back and champagne coloring. When I first saw it I thought recessive was always a het but he is showing signs of albino.

The second is my mystic potion. She is a pb and I would like to make pastel mystic potions however I was told that in order for that to work a mojave trait needs to be in both parents. Meaning, I would need a pastel/mojave breed to a mystic potions to get a pastel mystic potion. Is this true?

Thanks

Grant
