That's pretty much it A_G  X being the dominant (normal), and x being the recessive (ie albino).
Haven't seen banded albino! Unless you're talking about piebalds? Saw a piebald guy with some piebald balls at a herp show once... that sounded so wrong. Great snakes though.

Piebalds sounds right. Any idea on the genetics there?

Freakishly enough it's simple recessive!
"Piebald Ball Pythons... WOW! What a gene! Where do we start on this one... perhaps its weird "double-line" striped pattern or maybe the subtle but attractive BOLD... STARK... BLEACHED...T-SHIRT white splotches ALL over its body?!? This morph will get anyone excited! The Piebald gene produces a variable amount of white on the animal which can cover hardly any or nearly all of the body BUT never on the head. The skin in the white areas lack "chromatophores" (the skin cell that holds pigment)... so they are not a dirty yellow color when they grow up but WHITE! Also note the fact that Piebald Ball Pythons never have a normal pattern in their "non-white" areas. This incredible gene is simple recessive. "

It does have to be one of the most impressive looking genetic morphs, the abolute white as opposed to just lack of melanin.. very cool
