How do you get different variations of albinos

[paulh]

A ball python has 18 pairs of chromosomes. That averages out to over 1000 gene pairs per chromosome pair. The pinstripe mutant gene is in one gene pair. The albino mutant gene is in a totally different gene pair. Very likely those two gene pairs are in different chromosomes.
