    Sorry, not really up to date on the Himi genetics. It's one copy of Siamese and one copy of Albino, so could that mean one parent is het Siamese and the other is not?
    Edit:
    Just re-read your first post. So you know who the parents are to the litter with the weird baby, and both are colored, right?
    That being the case, it isn't genetically possible to get both albino and Himalayan (or even Siamese) in the same litter. If both parents are colored, you CAN get albino OR Siamese OR Himalayan, but you can't get both or all three in the same litter.

    That being said, if both parents are indeed colored, I would say one carries Siamese, one carries albino, and all the "albino" babies are in fact Himalayans who have not yet started changing color, and this one baby is also Himalayan. Since they have white markings, that's going to screw up the color too, because they'll be missing some of their points.


    original:
    In order to get both albino and Himalayan in the same litter from a colored mom, mom has to carry albino and the dad has to be Himalayan OR there are multiple dads to this litter.

    Mom = C/c
    Dad = ch/c

    Result: C/c (colored carrying albino), C/ch (colored carrying Siamese), ch/c (Himalayan), c/c (albino)

    If there are multiple dads to this litter, that creates multiple possibilities to account for this litter.

    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
