    Does this happen very often? And yeah, I think it would definitely affect the odds--you get less room for your typical odds, especially recessives, when you throw in a whole 'nother gene pool and group of odds.
    Like, if it was a 1 out of 4 chance for an Albino and you threw in another recessive, your chances would be cut in half of getting just an Albino, right?
    But then it's more likely for combos...I think.
    Am I right or am I speaking word salad right now?
    Yes, but when you have multiple Sires, the breeder will usually choose all Co Dominant traits since you get the most variety this way and more chances of hitting the high dollar snakes. Recessives are tough enough to get when you breed Het's unless you breed Homo-Homo snakes to get 100% of the babies representing the trait.
