How Amelanistic is inherited
Amelanistic is recessive: a corn snake needs two copies to show it. Animals with one copy look normal but are "het Amelanistic" and pass the gene to about half their babies.
New to these terms? See the genetics glossary.
Amelanistic is allelic with Ultra: 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.
