|  | Subscriber | | | | | Heres some Adult pics of some hypos. Both are 3.5years old. Also have some adults from a different line but are totally different to these. Not sure of the genetics but so far looks to be either dominant or co dominant in both lines.
Best regards

Albinism typically results from a combination of recessive genes, leading to the inability to produce melanin at all. The melanin biosythesis pathway, to put it bluntly, is fuxxored. Are these snakes truly albino (as i just described) or just have reduced melanin expression - but still retain the ability to produce it. | | |
