Group of snakes question.

[bmm]

Hello! Well my male Amel het blizzard died and another was a female but thought it was a male. So anyways I have three females and one male. I am a dofus with genetics...so can anyone give me some prospects I can expect from this group? Or what would be the best idea as who to who? I realize that most of them variety will come in the F2.

I have of breedable size:
0.1 Snow
0.1 Stripe het Hypo
0.1 Anery het snow
1.0 Snow

any ideas would be appreciated!

Also

If someone could suggest a good idea for another male I could add to this group?

heres what i came up with

Male is, Snow
Female is, Snow

Offspring are predicted to be...
1/1, Snow

Male is, Snow
Female is, Striped, Het for Hypomel

Offspring are predicted to be...
1/2, Het for Snow, Het for Hypomel, Het for Stripe
1/2, Het for Snow, Het for Stripe

Male is, Snow
Female is, Anerythristic, Het for Amel(snow)

Offspring are predicted to be...
1/2, Snow
1/2, Anerythristic, Het for Amel


this is what the progeny predictor says your offspring will be.
as for a male to add i would go with a male striped het for hypo so you could get

Male is, Striped, Het for Hypomel
Female is, Striped, Het for Hypomel

Offspring are predicted to be...
2/4, Striped, Het for Hypomel
1/4, Hypomelanistic, Striped
1/4, Striped

sorry i like striped /motley or you could use a caramel and in a couple years back cross to produce butters

Male is, Caramel
Female is, Snow

Offspring are predicted to be...
1/1, Het for Butter, Het for Anery

if you are lucky you may even get an anery butter 1/64 chance are you feeling lucky today

Slightly OT but what do you call a group of snakes. i.e. you have a hurd of cows ?

 

[pinatamonkey]

Apparently, a group of snakes is called a pit, nest, or bed.

http://www.rzu2u.com/terms.htm This site has a long list of names for babies, males, females, and groups of animals (and plants! - it says a palm tree "baby" is a pup )

Based on your grouping, if you want to produce non-normals, I'd suggest you buy yourself a hypo morph and breed that with your striped.

I would suggest either hypo or ghost (if you want to be able to make other morphs with your other critters), or a striped male.

Breeding your snow with your snow, and your snow with your anery would give you snows and anerys.

Incidentally, Drizzt... the hatchlings would be DOUBLE het for snow. Snow is composed of two genes. It's sort of a technicality, and sort of not. You don't get the 1/4 probability, but rather a 1/16 chance for snow when crossing normals dh snow.
