Recessive ball python gene
Caramel Albino Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds
Caramel Albino is a recessive gene. A ball python needs two copies to look Caramel Albino; with one copy it looks normal and is called het Caramel Albino. Pair two hets and about a quarter of the babies are visual Caramel Albino, while the normal-looking siblings are each 66% likely to be het. Breed a visual to a normal and every baby is het, which is how most Caramel Albino projects start.
