My Project

I currently have an albino burm and an albino retic. there babies so i have a little time to think about this. I have allready heard about the method of how to bread them. The question i have is pretaining to the genetic aspect.......This is what i think...... if both snakes are both albino that means they have both have recessive genes, if the burm is aa and the retic is bb there babies will be ab. but does that mean they will come out albino bateaters or bateaters that look normal with with recessive burm albino genes and recessive retic albino genes. Im still a novice when it comes to this stuff and need some help. Am i close or miles away with my assumption.

thanks

The albino trait is expressed differently in burms and retics (we don't have white, lavender, and purple albino burms). That could be a function of the gene anomoly itself, or where it is carried. If it is not the same anomoly that causes the phenotype, or if it occurs at a different point in the genomic structure, I doubt that the albino trait would be evidenced when crossing the two.
In other words, not all forms of albinism are compatible (see Kahl and Sharp strains in boas, for example), so don't count on getting albinos
