Please explain the Xmas Albinos to me!

[infernalis]

Someone correct me if I am wrong here.



Mine has crazy coloring. I bet it would also be very attractive with the black still in place.

Im new... or just point me to a link where I can read about xmas albinos.

1. Is it a simple ressesive
2. Is the a such thing as an Xmas without being albino
3. Can you tell the difference at birth
4. Is xmas albino an additional gene to albino or is it another strain or albino all together
5. can you post pics of examples please.

1. Not sure
2. no - it would just be a really pretty radix.
3. yes - however they color up more as they age. Some do not.
4. To get a "Christmas" you cross an albino radix with a high red or high orange radix. The albinism removes the black pigment highlighting the red/orange.

5. see above.


This picture was taken of the same snake when it was about 2 months old.
