Nice snakes! That corn snake with your normal is a homozygous amelanistic (aka albino) corn, not a heterozygous (het) albino. It is expressing amelanism, not just carrying the gene in het form.

Thanks.


One day, when people say the name
"Munson," they're gonna think "winner."

Just like DiMaggio is to baseball...

or "Unitas" is to football.

That's what "Munson" will be to bowling.

Yeah, there's a difference. A het albino would only be carrying the amelanism/albino gene. It wouldn't be expressing amel/albino. Your corn has red eyes, so you know that it is expressing amel/albino. It IS an amel/albino.

Re: my new snakes..

perhaps two different alleles for albinism?
I'm not that good with this genetic stuff . . .
