Rat snake breeding Question

I am a first-time snake breeder and am wondering what I will get if I pair a leucistic texas rat snake with a scaleless texas rat snake, any help would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

Both of these traits are recessive, which means an animal needs to have two copies of the trait to show it. So, unless either parent is het for the other trait, the clutch would consist of normal-looking double hets, carrying a copy of each trait. If you raise up the double hets and breed them to each other, approximately 1/16 of the babies would be Leucistic Scaleless.
