Purple Albino Reticulated Python
No black pigment, with the remaining pattern in lavender and cream over white.
How it inherits
- One copy
- One copy shows nothing at all. The animal looks ordinary and is called a carrier, or “het”.
- Two copies
- Two copies, one from each parent, are needed before it appears.

A pale box is an animal that shows the morph. These are the odds for each egg on its own, not a promise about a clutch.
Worth knowing. 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.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
What happens if you breed it
Every pairing involving Purple Albino, worked out gene by gene — including what the clutch can be and anything documented about the animals it produces.
