Re: suprise!!!!!!
There are two possible reasons:
first: the male is not het,
second: no albino sperms could make thier way
Its like a coin allway falling to the same side
how many babies have you got?

Re: suprise!!!!!!
Congrats Ben. Yeh, I'm guessing the male may not be het or might just be luck of the draw. Unfortunately can't get any.......no more snakes 'til I get rid of my thayeri's.

Re: suprise!!!!!!
oh Ben
they're lovely
you were probably hoping for more albinos
I know they're more valuable
but truthfully - I like these better
I imagine the gene for albinism would be on the X chromosome
since it's recessive that would mean that even though the male is het, he really doesn't have it
I mean "het' is really an assumption based on his parentagerhea
