In Reply to: How does the 'Hybino' gene work...? posted by OneSexyWookie on March 15, 2003 at 03:43:42:

The "hybino" gene is very notably 2 completely seperate lines of genes. While your "formula" may very well work with "normal" snakes, once these animals with RECESSIVE genes are linked it skews the results(supposedly predictably). It is easier(and quite possibly more correct) to think of the HYPO gene as a 2nd "type" of albino gene. While either one individually can be easily seen for what it is, it still remains to be seen what(if any)differences there are when combining the two(between the albino and the HYBINO). Last year I had a discussion with Terry D. about this and the different ways to think how these genes would react to each other. My thought that was the genes are like color template screens put in front of a lite bulb. While obviously not accurate, I dont think the simple chromaphore arguements work either. Unfortunately, not many people are working with this combination of genes in anything but honduran milks right now(in volume anyway). Given the variability of the snakes as well as the genes(Terry has noted at least 3 different colors within the SNOW line alone!)it is going to keep us guessing for quite a while. Hope this helps get some more minds thinking...Jeff
