How Albino is inherited

Albino is recessive: a ball python needs two copies to show it. Animals with one copy look normal but are "het Albino" and pass the gene to about half their babies.

New to these terms? See the genetics glossary.

Albino is allelic with Candy, Ultramel: they sit at the same spot on the chromosome, so an animal can carry at most two of them, and pairing them produces combination morphs.
