ainawgsd: piebald reptiles part 2, snakes Piebaldism (pi-bald-iz-m) is a genetic condition which restricts color in some areas leaving white and colored patches or mottling due to partial depigmentation. These white areas may be small and inconspicuous or so large that the animal is almost completely white. Several mutations, including piebald, dominant spotting, and white spotting genes, can be responsible for piebaldism. Depending on which genes are responsible, piebaldism may be dominant, semi-dominant, or recessive. Some of these genes are lethal when homozygous and are associated with certain health problems including blindness, deafness, and megacolon. -- source link
