Motley Purple Albino Reticulated Python
One animal carrying both genes. Each one is inherited separately, so this combination is made by bringing them together rather than being a gene of its own.
The two genes
- Purple Albino
- recessive
- No black pigment, with the remaining pattern in lavender and cream over white.
How one is made
Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Motley × Purple Albino, which works out every outcome and its odds.
Worth knowing
Purple Albino. There are separate albino lines in this species. The Purple and White albinos are different genes: pairing one with the other produces no albino offspring at all, only normal-looking young carrying a copy of each. Establish which line an animal comes from before pairing it.
