Albino Research Questions

[Reptile City]

I am wanting to know from albino breeders that have kept records.
I only want first party imformation please, not I herd someone got this or that!
My question is, when you have bred an albino with a 100% Het what ratio are people getting in there eggs?
Not what has hatched, but how many albinos to hets are produced.

Also has anyone bred a 100% Het from Albino x Albino pairing?

I have seen the percentages on charts, eg: Albino x Het = (50% albino & 50%Hets).
We have all seen the charts, but what are the real results?
Also would be interested in knowing results from Darwin’s or Olives.

Thanks for any replies,
Jason

Also has anyone bred a 100% Het from Albino x Albino pairing?

Although this is theoretically impossible, i have also been wondering if this has ever happened.

A clutch of darwins last season from an alb male/het female resulted in 75% albinos.

I doubt you would get anything less than 100% albino from alb/alb pairings.

If Colin on here is successful this year with his Alb x Alb he might be able keep us posted.......

Thanks Ramsayi

I was wondering because nature produced 1 albino out of the blue, from I guess 100% normal Darwins. Mayby the opposite has occured.

If there is a genetic malfunction and the body doesn't produce the usual amounts of the pigment melanin thus creating an albino, could two albinos have a genetic malfunction in which more than the usual amount of melanin is produced (for albino's) or would this create a 'paradox'?

albino/het pairing would return 75% as ramsayi said. also albino/albino pairing cant return any hets as there isnt a split gene to carry through

Isn't het x albino statistically

50% albino and 50% heterozygous?

Thats why Ram's 75% albino was a bit different.

The genes breeding chart I read from, says albino X Het = 50% Albino & 50% Hets?

Is that your thoughts or do you have a source that has studied or proven it?
Can you provide your place of information?
No offence, but some are willing to provide definate answers with no actual real evidence.

[Ramsayi]

Yes statistically its 50/50 and could vary either way.Some clutches might be more or less although over multiple clutches it would most likely work out to be 50/50

[jahan]

sure does mean alot of albino`s will be produced in the next couple of years!

[Reptile City]

A clutch of darwins last season from an alb male/het female resulted in 75% albinos.

Can you provide clutch sizes?
Only if you feel ok about providing amounts & percentages!
This information will be interesting to see if there is any differance to normal Darwin clutch sizes.

From Albino Male and 100% Het Female

clutch of 12 eggs, all hatched

9 Albino / 3 100% Het

75% Albino / 25% Het

cheers

Awesome!
Thanks orientalis, perfect info provided.

Another important question.
Age of breeders?

[nigmax]

Albino male to 100% female
9 eggs laid
5 100% hets
4 albinos
Female 3yrs
Male 4yrs

Cheers
