Actually, what MrBredli said is correct: Het x Normal = 50% Het and 50% Normal

What is usually refered to as albinism in reptiles (actually amelanism) is autosomal recessive.

No, the parents could be hets or homozygous for a mutation. A double het simply is het for two different characteristics. A triple het carries the mutant allele for three different characteristics.

guys what is a het ?

Short for heterozygote, an individual with dominant and recessive genes determining a particular characteristic.

The white dogs i breed are purely white coated, dark pigmented. Like i said in my OP, the albino gene is something completely different and i don't know much about it, i only know about the white gene and its inheritance. The colour white works as a 'mask' of the original coat colour in my dogs too.

True bro, True :wink:

so does anyone know about the tree snakes?

I would say "Yes it does" as it is a colour mutation. Are you refering to Blue phase Parent x Green Phase Parent etc?

lol magpie. good one
