    I have not seen one person involved with this project make such bold statements yet of what is going on as I have seen you make.
    They are saying it is compatible, which is what is being said here.

    And sorry sir but you are no genetic expert and you know really nothing beyond what the majority of breeders knows bout ball python genetics. I am no expert on genetics. I do know about Loci, allels and genomes as well as other genetic junk. I am no expert but I also don't pretend to be. I also know what Dominance means, what INCOMPLETE dominance means and what co-dominance means and what each of then do.
    Well I do work in a research lab that deals heavily with genetics. What you are proposing is extremely unlikely. Like I said, I still can't imagine a scenario where toffee and albino are compatible, albino is not compatible with lav albino, yet toffee is?

    If you can think of such a scenario, then please share it with us. "It could be possible" isn't a scenario or hypothesis.

    Until some one takes the time and money needed to map the ball python genome then all we have to go on is what is proven out by breeding.
    Probably never going to happen. That takes a lot of time and $$ with not much to gain. And even then, its not going to be useful for your average hobbyist or even big time breeder.
