if I breed my female albino burm with a green burm, will they produce any albino green?

Are you seriously still considering getting another burm?? If you google these things youll get better answers, I dont believe we have any burm breeders.

Genetics is always a game of chance, unless you have a sweet *** lab.

Genetics is fun, you have to analyze dominance factors, albinoism is a recessive trait, meaning that you would have to have both parents carrying the recessive trait, the darker colors tend to be codominant which really complicates things. If you breed an albino with a green, Chances are they will all be greens, but will be heterozygous for albinoism, if you cross that new hetero generation with an albino, you should then get albino greens in either a 1-1 ratio, or a 1-3 ratio depending on the type of dominance of the green coloration. If it is incomplete dominance, it may take a third generation to achieve the green albinos that you would like to see.

Basically long story short, it will more than likely take several generations to reach your end goal, and that is assuming that the genetics works out in perfect Mendalian theory. There are a lot of other factor to be condsidered that would disrupt those theories. With each generation though, you are gradually weeding out the darker tones and working toward recessive traits, so you may have quite the project ahead of you.

Good Luck.

Woot, other big snake people . Congratz on the breeding, cant wait to see the babies

Yes I still am and I have already went to a few exotic pet stores that I usually go to and they all said that they would buy some of the babies and 1 even said that they'd buy them all, and that if I wanted to, they would also incubate the eggs for free. But other than that is anyone else sad to hear about the "crocodile hunter" steve irwin?

Everyone in and outside the herp world is sad to hear about Steves death. But he will always be rememberd and his soul will live on forever as will his impact on the herp. world!

Stephen10,
hey if you are still intrested about the outcome of the breeding between your albino and a green burm, there is a great mini class on the N.E.R.D. website, it goes from basic single trait breeding all the way to multi-trait breeding it's pretty cool, i to am trying the whole breeding thing to, i am especialy intrested in the X breeding of the burm and the retic, aka the borneo bateater, but that is much further down the road.

0.1.0 Albino Burm "BABY"

Hi guys.....genetics are ok when you get your head round them, as for your question about burms here goes...

Albino (simple recessive) bred to a Green (simple recessive) will give you all normal looking offspring (these will be F1), but all the babies will be het. (ie carrying the recessive jean but not actually displaying it) albino and green.

When those offspring (F1) are bred together then you will get the following offspring (these will be F2), normals, albinos, greens and green albinos.....and they will be in roughly the following amounts:

Normal (66% het. green albino) 8 out of every 16
Albinos (66% het. green) 3-4 out of every 16
Greens (66% het. albino) 3-4 out of every 16
Green Albino 1 out of every 16

These are a rough guide and it all depends on the odds lol

*note* 66% het. - this just means that 2 out of 3 will be het. but as they look the same and you have no way of knowing you have to call them 66% het.

So by the time you get to the second generation (F2) you will have produced Green Albinos......you can breed the third generation (F3) together but I personally wouldn't go beond F2.....

Hope this makes sense

I found on some albino Labyrinth at Albinoburmese.com so I think thats what im going to try to get.
