Question Tad bit confused on some %'s

What does 66% mean? I come across it quite often and I don't understand where it comes from (Like 66% het anery or sometimes there is a list like 66% het anery, diffused, lavender). I imagined that to be a certain percentage het for something it would be 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% aka quarter increments. But that does not seem to be the case.

Could somebody please inform me on this? Thanks for helping ^^

It means that that snake has a 66% chance of being het for xyz. If you cross an amel to a normal then all offspring are normals 100% het amel. Het amel x het amel will give you some amels and normals 66% het amel. Het amel x normal will give you all normals 50% het amel. We use these percentages because there is now way of knowing for sure if that snake carries those genes aside from breeding the snake out. Hope this helps!

Here's another example that explains it well (see post 5).

http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=125769

Some people for example will say any of the following:

Amel 66% possible het anery
Amel 66% phet anery
Amel 66% het anery
Amel 66% anery

So on average, 2/3 of babies listed that way will actually be het, but you don't know which ones unless you prove it out through breeding.

And when you've proved it, they are no longer ph, or 66% but either 100% or 0%, but no one lists the 0%, at least that I've ever seen.

Oh come on Christen! I think there are some breeders here that would very much like to get some corns with 0% hypo, guaranteed.
