bumble crossed with albino?!

[adi]

what would a bumblebee and albino produce?

[MPenn]

Spiders, pastels, bumblebees, and normals all het for albino.

[hoo-t]

what would a bumblebee and albino produce?

Would I be rude if I turned the question back around to you? You know how to get a bumblebee now, and I think you understand that albino is a recessive trait. Sooo,

What does a bumblebee bred to a normal produce? hint - look at the spider - pastel thread.

What does an albino bred to a normal produce? hint - het albinos. (normal looking animals that carry the albino gene).

Now, what does a bumblebee bred to an albino produce? hint - put the two together. Will all babies be het albino? What about pastel, spider, bumblebee, and normal? How will each of those be affected by the albino gene? Remember that albino is recessive. Sooo,

What about the normal? How will the albino gene affect it? hint - its a het albino.

The pastel? hint - het albino? The albino trait won't show because its a het?
So its a pastel het albino. Catching on?

I'm going to let you do the rest on your own.

Spider? How does the albino gene affect it?
Bumblebee? Same question?

You need to understand the 3 main types of inheritance in ball pythons - recessive, dominant, and co-dominant. All three are represented in your question. Albino = recessive. Spider = dominant. Pastel = co-dominant. Figure those out, then you've got it. What remains is symantics, and of course, what they look like when you start combining VISIBLE traits (like the spider/pastel). For another example, your het albino spider bred to an albino would produce...what? Yep, albino spiders (and het albinos). What would an albino spider look like? Well, in this case, it looks as would be expected (awesome by the way). Some other traits when combined might have unexpected results, and even the most seasoned breeders are surprised by the results from time to time.

Do a search on google for ball python morphs. You should be able to find lots of wicked combinations. If you still need help, ask away.

Have fun!

i think the intention here may have been more of a question of whether or not the albino would show or not if it did have both copies of the gene. That is the way i took the question. It may have been a case of not understanding recessive traits, but i was thinking more along the lines of what the last part of that response mentioned, if an albino spider is possible, because as you said some times things dont cross the way we would expect.

......adi is just intent on starting a thread concerning every possible ball python morph combination....thats all...you can check the Morph & Genetics forum...he has amassed quite a collection so far

adi, I would suggest reading some of the genetic websites that were provided to you previously. They will be a great tool in learning how to figure out these simple genetic combinations all by yourself

Sweet!

adi, check out nerd's site and book. the book is good and loads of morph info.


also vpi has a new book out that is good. do some searching and reading.

Is this the albino that your friend got for treefitty?

Kudos for the SP reference!
