    Re: How do you get different variations of albinos

    okay there's a lot of information you can find on the internet on how simple recessives work but I'll explain here a little bit, and use your albino pin as an example.

    if you want to make more albino pins starting from scratch
    breed your albino pin to a normal and you will get out of your clutch 50% normal and 50% pinstripes all of them heterozygous (het) for albino meaning all of the animals are carrying one copy of the albino gene.
    the way simple recessives work is that both parents need to be carrying a copy of that gene to produce a visual expression, in this case albinism.

    so you breed an albino to a pinstripe het albino and you will get
    25% het albino
    25% pin het albino
    25% albino
    25% albino pin

    hope this helps, but as stated in previous posts there is a ton of information involving genetic mutations in this hobby and I am by no means an expert but there's always something new to learn and a lot of the members here have a wealth of knowledge and a lot of it is posted here in one place or another. Its up to you to put forth the effort in seeking it out
