Recessive ball python gene
Lavender Albino Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds
Lavender Albino is a recessive gene. A ball python needs two copies to look Lavender Albino; with one copy it looks normal and is called het Lavender Albino. Pair two hets and about a quarter of the babies are visual Lavender 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 Lavender Albino projects start.
