[RoYaL_619]

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

What morph of ball python are you talking abou? There are about a billion of them.

albino ball python but i would like to know what am i supposewd to get if i breed a 100% with a normal or two ball pythons that are 66% het for albino?

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

First let me explain the precenages...

If an animal is 66% possible het for albino that does not mean that it caries part of the albino gene or something like that. That means that each snake stands a 66% chance of being het. If someone says that an animal is 100% het, they just mean that it is a het and there is no chance that it is not.

So if you bred a 100% het to a normal, all of the babies would be normal looking, and would be 50% possible het for albino. If you Bred two 66% possible hets, If you are lucky and both snakes turn out to really be het, then 25% of your babies will be albino, 75% will be 66% possible het for albino. If one or neither of your adults turn out to really be hets, you will have a bunch of normals.

Did that help?

thanks morti, is it worth it in your o/p to buy two 66% hets for albino and chance getting a albino.

If you are buying Hets or Possible hets, you absolutely MUST purchase from a breeder that you trust. And demand paperwork and pics of the adults. Many of the "Good Deals" on hets that you can find out there are just normals with their prices jacked up.

If you can afford it, get Hets, not possibles. If you can't afford it, remember... there is a reasonable chance that you won't get albinos. It is a dice roll. Especially with Ball Pythons and their small clutch size. You may have to produce several clutches before you can prove the genetics.
