    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

HI! Well, now I get the genetics of all the ball python, burmese, and corn snake mastered then I get overloaded with the abino tic bug.

So that I know ( know, or think... ) there are 5 albino genes in retics? I guess there's T+, T-, lavender, purple, and amel? Or is Amel not albinism?

I've got the basic understanding of what causes the T+, and T- effects, but what causes the lavender, and purple, and is one a severity of the other?

Also are any of these albino traits compatible, or do you get double hets from breeding homozygous to homozygous?

Are there any write ups on any of this? I've done a lot of searching on google.com but there seems to be little written knowledge of retic morphs.

Heck don't get me started with what I'd like to know about the calico gene...
 
To my knowladge, there are 3.

Clark strain: whitephase, lav and purple.
Amel:
Carmel:

The clark was from a wild caught lav male. What depicts the colr, I don't know. But the lav and purple are just types of the Clark strain. I've seen a "sharp" strain, but I don't know what it is. Hope this helps?
 
I kind of see what you're saying Tyler. So can a white phase, lavender, and purple be born from a single clutch from like a white phase homozygous to another white phase?

I gather from what you're saying white phase, purple, and lav are like with balls a lemon pastel, jungle pastel, etc... They're just different phases of the same allelic morph?

But yeah bro, thanks for the info.

Exactly. A white phase to a white phase will yield 50% white, 25%lav and 25%purple(roughly) but from Bob Clarks first breeding(father/daughter) he got all 3 from a lav/het breeding.

But yes, there diffrent phases of the same morph. I can't say like the pastels in BPs because I don't really follow them.

Any more info needed, let me know. Sorry I couldn't help with the others.
 
I got ya. I'd sure like to know more about the calico gene, but so would everybody.

I'm kind of thinking that N.E.R.D knows a lot more about the calico gene than they lead on. Either way I want one... lol
