    Help Me Understand This

    Is this calculator wrong? I don't understand why there's no chance for Hets. Not that I don't mind that. But why is everything guaranteed to be Albino something?

    Thanks.

    No hets because both parents are visual albinos. This means that both parents will pass on the albino gene 100% of the time. The result is no hets

    You never get hets with two homozygous breeding since both parents pass a copy of the gene everytime.

    if it helps ( no intentions of being rude...not sure what you know or dont know abotu genetics)

    if they are homozygous they are either AA or aa (for whatever trait)

    heterozygous would be Aa

    so you want to do a simple punnett square where you basically times the Aa by the aa or AA

    there are some basic genetics 101 kinda websites that are good and keep things simple

    ive also found the ball python morph book to be helpful
