Just call me Gerald

Turns out it's Geraldine.....*school boy error* we named before sexing....LOL

The pic is a good representation of her colours...I love the greyness of her...
Unfortunately I don't know anything about her as she was a pet shop purchase... Next job is to find a mate for her........

The question is, what would be the best mate....Any suggestions
 
om, a corn. :rofl:

om, a male corn. :rofl: :rofl:

om, a male corn in the mood. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

She is beautiful. I wonder what would the hatchlings be if you mated her with a Snow?
 
Cheers Sue and J9......I don't know what a snow would add to the pot....LOL.....

I just don't want to waste her potential....If she has any........
I quite like the Lavs....But I don't know if that would be a good mix....
 
There are so many morphs out there that it gives me a headache. :bang:

Just throw one of each in the pot and see what you get.:spinner:

Maybe a reverse okeetee? I'm just thinking about getting some red on the babies.

Now Sue, you know some breeders go to great lengths to get rid of the red you are thinking about throwing back on it, right? :D
 
I think I'd want to try a ghost, to see if you get that grey-tone colour scheme passed on!
 
I guess the bottom line is what are you looking for. I personally would like to see a corn with more green in it. :laugh01:

I think if you add a ghost you might get a frosted look. Then again, you might be right - no matter what you breed with her, all the babies might be normal. :shrugs:

Listen to me, as if I know something about genetics.:rofl: I haven't even done any breeding with my snakes because they are all too young, well, except for Smokey and Queenie but I am not one for interbreeding.
 
Well, here is what you know for sure. Since she is anery, you know she lacks the gene that produces erythrin, red. She has to be homozygous for that. What we don't know is about the gene that produces melanin. She could be het for amel and it would not show.

If you mate her to a snow corn, which is homozygous for both anery and amel, you should get some more anery babies for sure. If you don't have a het for amel in your anery female, then all of the babies will be anery, het for amel (or het for snow) If you have a het for amel gene, you would get 25% snow babies.

Without knowing what her hets are (if any), there is no way to know that you won't get a clutch of normals. I think a ghost might be a thought... you would still run the risk of getting normals if she carries it in her pedigree.
 
Thanks for the input, everyone.......I got a while before I am ready to breed off her, so keep the suggestions coming.

This is exactly the bit that leaves me confused......I've read it a couple of times and it still sounds like blar blar blar blar blar blar blar blar blar....
I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get Joel to explain it to me....Again......LOL
 
Well, blar blar blar until blar blar blar blar unless you blar blar blar blar. If blar blar blar blar then you blar blar blar blar blar blar.

Hope blar blar blar blar blar blar blar blar
 
If you'd really like to twist it up, it looks like you have a motley gene working there as well. As you know, the motley allele and the stripe allele share the same locus on the chromosome. You could mate it to a motley or a stripe and see if you have a hidden stripe gene.

:laugh01::laugh01::laugh01::laugh01:
The thing is, I could understand that!:confused:.
 
You all make me sick :puke02:

Genetic geniuses, all of you. :laugh01:

Does all just gene knowledge just jump on you and make you smart?; or, does it happen over a period of time.

I got 3 years before I'd be breeding my snakes so I guess I better start ed-jew-kating myself. :rofl:

No, serously, guy - you all just blow my socks off with your gene/chromosone smarts. :dunce: Hope I can be that way one day.
