Breeding stripes

I have a female ghost stripe and a male hypo stripe and was told they both have a 66% chance of being anery. I thought ghost was an anerythistic trait.
Anyway, what would come from this pairing?

The female can't be 66% het Anery as she is a Ghost. A Ghost is a double homozygous mutation.
Anery + Hypo = Ghost.
Now, if the male is infact het for Anery then the clutch will consist of Hypo Stripes 100% het Anery (due to mother being homo Anery) and Ghost Stripes. This should be a very nice pairing. Good luck. :cheers:
Jay :cool:

I am not even going to tackle the striped gene. That said, if your snakes are genetic stripes, you will get some in this mix.

Breeding a Ghost to a Hypo you will get some normals, hypos and IF your hypo is het anery, then you will also get some aneries and ghosts.

To the earlier poster, Ghost is not an Anery trait, it is a combo of Hypo and Anery.

Correction. Both snakes are Stripes. Therefore, all the progeny will be Stripes as well.

If you breed a Hypo to a Ghost there will be no Normals or Anery in the clutch because both parents are homozygous Hypo. Worste case scinerio would be all Hypos if Anery was not presenst in het form in the Hypo. So, if you breed a Ghost Stripe x Hypo Stripe het Anery half the clutch will be Hypo Stripes 100% het Anery and the other half will be Ghost Stripes.

I do not understand the Stripe gene enough to tackle it. However, from what I have been told, breeding stripes to stripes doesn't always produce perfectly striped animals, hence why I said SOME. Yes, by definition they will all be striped animals, but some will be more striped thatn others, correct?

Sorry, I was thinking het anery and het hypo and didn't pay much attention. In regards to the Anery, if you read my quote, I said IF his other animal turned out to be het anery, he would get some anery, but that was wrong also (note to self, don't answer questions when on medications). Actually, if his animal is het hypo, then he would get ghosts stripes and hypo stripes right?

Sorry for the confusion. If I am wrong again, then just correct it and I will be quiet, how does that sound?

Stripe is a simple recessive genetic trait. Breeding a homozygous stripe to a homozygous stripe will produce 100% striped hatchlings. The only variation you may see is in the quality of the stripe pattern (full stripe, vanishing stripe, cubed, etc), but they will be stripes nonetheless. If you introduce the motley gene into the mix (breed homozygous stripe to homozygous motley), then you've completely changed the phenotype of all the offspring to motley (despite being het stripe) and all sorts of possible motley patterns can be the result.
