What do you get if you breed an albino ballpython to an albino ballpython?

If a “het Albino” ball python mates with an Albino, half the clutch will be Albino and the other half “het Albino.” But when two het Albino balls mate, things become more complicated. That clutch will consist of: 25% Albino. 50% Het Albino.

Can you breed two albino ball pythons?

The albino gene is recessive, so two matching genes are required for albinism to be expressed in the phenotype of the offspring (phenotype: physical body). On top of this, ball pythons can be tricky to breed.

Can you breed albino to albino?

An offspring can only be albino in two cases: If both parents are albino; or. If both parents are phenotypically normal (with normal skin colour) BUT are CARRIERS OF THE RECESSIVE ALLELE FOR ALBINISM.

Can you breed 2 albino snakes?

If you breed two het albino snakes together -- that is, two normal-looking snakes that have the albino gene--then about 25% of their offspring will be albinos. Another 25% of their offspring will be normal and will NOT carry the albino gene.

How do you breed an albino pied ball python?

The easiest route for Albino Pieds would be to breed Visual Albino x Visual Pied, all offspring will be 100% Double Het Albino and Pied, breed these together to produce the Albino Pied in a 1/16 chance. From acquiring the Pied and Albino as hatchlings, you're looking at 6+ years on average to produce them.

Are albino ball pythons rare?

The Albino Ball Pythons have been found in their native regions of the central and western part of Africa, but they are quite rare. Those available in captivity have been captive bred, with the first breeding reportly by Bob Clark and since then successively through at least three generations.

What can I breed my albino ball python with?

With recessive genes you would need to breed the albino to a het albino female to produce 50% albinos, and 50% het albinos. If you bred the albino to a piebald you would get 100% of the offspring as double het for both albino and piebald.

What happens if two albinos have a baby?

This means a child has to get 2 copies of the gene that causes albinism (1 from each parent) to have the condition. If both parents carry the gene, there's a 1 in 4 chance that their child will have albinism and a 1 in 2 chance that their child will be a carrier. Carriers do not have albinism but can pass on the gene.

Can albino dogs breed?

A white-coated dog carries the genetic make-up for white pigmentation, or may be a partial albino, whereas a true albino dog has no pigmentation. ... It's very possible, then, that two black dogs carrying the recessive gene can mate and produce an albino pup.

Can an albino animal reproduce?

In studies of Adélie penguins in Antarctica, Jun Nishikawa of Japan´s Ocean Research Institute found that albino birds almost never find mates and are frequently pecked at by their peers. Because of such ostracism, the animals are less likely to reproduce and pass on their genes.

What are white snakes called?

The rare albino krait snake's white skin is because of a condition called albinism. This condition is a result of a rare group of genetic disorders that cause the skin, hair or eyes to have little or no colour. A rare albino krait snake was recently spotted in Northern Chattisgarh's Ambikapur.

What is a banana snake?

The Banana Ball Python is a type of ball python morph that is famous for its strong yellow colored blotches and dark freckles. Banana snakes are selectively bred from the West African ball python species to produce a beautiful yellow and tan patterning.

Can you breed a albino ball python with a regular ball python?

Pattern of Inheritance

Albinism is a recessive gene. Both parents must carry the gene and the zygote must receive a copy from each. If an Albino ball python mates with a normal ball, the offspring will all look like normal ball pythons.

What does 66% albino mean?

66% het albino is a short way of saying "Based on its parents, this normal-looking animal has a two-thirds chance of being het for the recessive gene albino, and a one-third chance of being completely normal het for nothing."

What does Het mean in snakes?

Heterozygous (het)- A ball that is listed as a "het" means it is carrying a recessive gene, but not visibly expressing it. When bred to other ball pythons showing or carrying the same recessive gene, the visible morph can be produced. Normal (wild-type) ball python is the dominant type.
