I thought you got 25% albino, 25% normal and 50% het. So out of the normal looking ones, 66% of them would be het.braids...you don't, out of a het to het mating you will get (APPROX.) 33% albinos 33% hets & 33% normals now anything that is not showing albinism is called a "possible het" and anything that is not said roughly in those words to put it plainly is flexing the truth and to repeat what has been said a (100% het) is albino mated to a normal snake....Baden

Because they would first have to identify the gene responsible which would take some time, then take a DNA sample and test if it has that gene. Then it wouldn't discount another faulty gene leading to albinism because of the many faulty genes that could lead to it. All in all it would be a time consuming and expensive test.just a question... in other animals you can test for albinism (to determine if it is het or normal), why is this not done in the snake industry? would people actually go to the vet to do a DNA test to determine if their poss hets were actually hets?
then again it raises the issue.. people may get their snakes tested.. realize that only one of the hatchlings are actually het.. and just sell the all of the normal looking ones as poss hets even though they tested and found out they were not het at all..
( I currently have a horse on the market and cant stop fantasizing about what im going to buy when it sells!!)

i feel it is quite possible.. and i dont think it is far out of my reach.. im thinking this might make a good honours/masters project.. in two years time that is.. would i have any support? collecting dna/blood samples of snakes and cataloging them to understand the genetics of snakes a little better (ie. taking blood samples from albino snakes/normal snakes from various peoples collections?).. im only in early years.. but i have many years ahead to learn and get this on the road if its a valid path to follow..
It's off gumtree. Good old gumtree =]
thanks for that geck82... im sure it wont hurt if i send him a PM and ask
im not sure what petlink is.... so probably =] gumtree is just amazing. As long as your weary of scammers =/
The more studies done on the subject the better.
Sounds like pet link to me...
HahahaWell i just paid 20grand,hope she was telling the truth.Otherwise ive got a expensive Bredli..lol
