What does it mean if my bp is het albino/ het toffee?

[Eric Alan]

CitricPrincess is correct. The OP isn't saying that their BP is double het Albino/Toffee (which isn't possible). They're saying that their BP is either het Albino or het Toffee (because one of the parents was a Toffino). See the picture of her here (from OP's gallary):


Riolu2012 - since Albino and Toffee are allelic, you could breed your BP to anything that is allelic with Albino (Albino/het Albino, Candy/het Candy, Toffee/het Toffee) and have a chance at producing some really cool looking animals. Also, here's how to post pictures within your posts/replies: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures.

Ok thank you so much for clarifying! So to sum it up if I bred her to any of the hets you listed I could produce those morphs, or will I have to figure out which one will work to produce an albino or other morph? Thank you so much for explaining this to me, I don't know much about BP genetics yet, I am glad there are people willing to help explain this to me.

Yes (to the first part). You could breed her to any one of those in order to try and produce an Albino looking animal. They're all compatible with each other.

Thank you so much for helping me out and explaining this to me! I cant wait to try breeding her one day!

It depends on her genetics what you will get when you breed her.

If she's het albino and you breed her to a candy or toffee you will not be able to get candies or toffees from the pairing, only toffinos and candinos (and normal hets of course).

If she's het toffee and you breed her to a candy or toffee all the babies (besides the normal hets) will either be toffee or candy/toffee. No albinos will appear even if you breed her to an albino, in which case only toffinos would be possible.

Also people argue whether or not toffee and candy are the same gene so that may either complicate or simplify things for you.

This actually helps a lot thanks, I'm planning to breed her with a het albino male when she gets older, I've never bred anything before so I will be satisfied if I can get any color morphs.
