Double Recessive Traits? How does that work?

[BaLLPAddICT]

check out this page http://ballpython.com/page.php?topic=genetically3 The genes for both Albino and Axanthic are confusing me when it gets to the square on breeding those two morphs together.

Ooh. So, what would need to be breed to make an Axanthic morph?

Here look at this....it has visual aids to help get the concept of recessive genes.

To get an axanthic you would have to breed....

Axanthic to Axanthic
Axanthic to het. Axanthic
het. Axanthic to het. Axanthic

With the double recessive traits, each individual trait is still inherited independant of each other. Does that help?

Ok heres how you get axanthics. Give Adam Wysocki a call. Place an order for a pair of 100% hets andgrow them up untill the female is a few years old and 1,500Gs and breed them and hopefully in about 60 days you will have some axanthics and possible hets!!


The square is a punnet square. The albino is the same as an axanthic exept for the morphs. The genes are the same.

I always thought of each morph as having one gene like albinos do.

Jeez..lol. Alright. Albinos and axanthics are simple ressesive. it takes 2 snakes with the same gene (het forms) to make this snake. The dad and the mom carry these hiden genes and when these genes meet in the female you get an egg with a little albino inside. Hope you understand!

lol thats not what i meant
