Hi all!!!

I am very new...I am juz wondering will it make any difference in breeding Male pastel to female normal and normal male to a female pastel????

No difference No matter what order you should get a 50% split of pastels and normals.

Thanx v much....
And 1 more quest.... What will i get breeding an Albino-T to an Albino+T??? Or is it not worth @ all???
Thanx in Advance.....

When breeding a T- and T+ together all of the offspring will look normal. Both genes are recessive so all of the babies will carry both genes.

Now I believe the homo T- and T+ has not been born. (Tuff odds) I am definitely curious as to what the cross will look like...and I have heard from some people they believe it wont be possible (The genes will cancel each other out)

But I have been shocked with genetics before

My advice would be to go with the pastel male and normal female. That way if you decide to pick up another normal you can get a female and still make more pastels. If you get the pastel female, you'll be kind of stuck...unless you get a spider male or such to breed her to!

Exactly what i was going to say

Its also cheaper to buy an older normal female and faster than buying a female pastel and waiting 2+ years

my 2 cents

Sorry for my ignorance but what does the -T / +T means?

I am no expert but I believe this will help-

In T+ (Tyrosinase - Positive) albinism the tyrosinase enzyme is present. Pigment cells are unable to produce melanin; however, tyrosine is still produced. Tyrosine is a chemical that takes part in the melanin making process which causes a purple coloration. T+ albino is known as the Caramel in ball pythons.

T- (Tyrosinase - Negative) does not produce melanin at all which results in a white and yellow snake like the "regular" albino ball pythons.

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ! ! ! ! !

it hasnt been totaly proven that a caramel albino is a t+....no one has done the tests as of yet so they may not cancel out each other.

Totally forgot about adding that..Thank you!
