Technical "Morph" question

[infernalis]

Actually, it does happen in nature. The only difference is in how likely it is to happen.

Gertie -

Without trying to sort out the mathematical probability (odds) the likelihood of an albino male and female finding each other in nature is close to nil.

However when a breeder desires a litter of albinos, we can "introduce" the mates to each other.

Every single morph available originated with the "forced" pairing of at least one wild specimen.

Folks have been known to pay out insane sums for wild caught albinos to gain fresh genes for breeding projects.

Far from nil, actually. It happens all the time and with time, it becomes almost inevitable.

Stefan, please elaborate.....

Let's forget about the folks standing over the den opening and grabbing every "non normal" specimen that emerges....

Now I'm totally, 100% lost.

I'm still not seeing it, Stefan and Dekay. I'm still stickin' with my current opinion on this one.

Where did I lose you?

[infernalis]

You didn't lose me anywhere...

Well, if I need to elaborate something, then I obviously lost you somewhere.

No Not LOST, confused...

Lets just say a colony of 1000 snakes, just how many of them are going to be albino??

Now of that thousand, lets be generous and say there are 4 albinos in there, that is only a 1 in 250 that are albino.

OK DUH I do feel a bit dumb, the resultant hets will raise that number up, and left unmolested by man, the numbers will increase over time.

Yet once again Stefan makes a great point!

Anything further will have to wait, I need to go make some money....
