Black Pastel Lavender Albino Ball 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.
Documented health finding on one of these genes
Black Pastel. Animals homozygous for this gene are widely reported in breeder records to show structural defects including kinked spines and jaw abnormalities.
The two genes
- Black Pastel
- co-dominant
- Darker and more contrasted, with the pattern reduced and the browns pushed toward black.
How one is made
Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Black Pastel × Lavender Albino, which works out every outcome and its odds.
