Breeding pair....

Well....I am really not a real genetic kind of guy.....so I have a question about some hatchlings....
I have a pair of Sunglow x okeetee they all came out as regular looking snakes.
So this means that they are okeetees het amel right???
 
No simple answer to that, really.... if you want a GREAT tutorial on genetics, check out the LINKS page on my site - it links to SerpWidgets pages... VERY educational, no matter what your current level of understanding.

So you bred an amel sunglow to an okeetee?

Yes, just about all you can say for certain is that the offspring will be 100% het for amel (if your okeetee is het amel, that's a different story, of course.) Keep in mind that BOTH sunglow and okeetee are what I'll call "polygenetic traits", but since sunglows and okeetees actually look quite different from each other you're bound to get an "interesting" clutch. Also, a hatchling sunglow looks IDENTICAL to an amel, a flourescent, a reverse okeetee, etc... (to my novice eye, anyway) so what might look like non-amel sunglows when they mature you'd never know by looking at the hatchlings...

PS - I wouldn't go calling any of them okeetee anything until they are old enough you know what they're really going to look like as adults... They obviously miss the mark of qualification as "Okeetee locality" strain, and as 50% sunglow it's anybody's guess which, if any, of them will qualify as "okeetee phase" once they are mature...
