:eatsmiley OK IM A NUB REPEAT REPEAT!!!! IS a Bloodred Het Hypo
Female going grow up to be red?? i think so case i did read i promise i just want to be sure... :toiletgra

Bloodred would be red.

 

[DeprivedSnakeLover]

ya but what does the *het* mean? it means that if it has kids and it partner had the same *het* then some of them would be that color write?

You need to hets to make it show (homo). So one het from each parent would make a homo, which is when it's called that particular morph. So if you bred your bloodred (two hets equaling homo) het hypo (one het) to another bloodred het hypo you have a chance of getting a hypo bloodred, bloodred, and bloodred het hypo. But if you bred hypo het bloodred to bloodred het hypo you have a greater chance of getting hypo bloodreds. Try fooling around with this program, it makes understand genetics a lot easier: http://home.comcast.net/~spencer62/cornprog.html

But I admit my understanding pretty limited as well, so some of the more experienced people should be along soon to explain it better.

ok thanks... i have so much to learn... which is why i want one!

lol not my day it doesn't work with macs...

So if you bred your bloodred (two hets equaling homo) het hypo (one het) to another bloodred het hypo you have a chance of getting a hypo bloodred, bloodred, and bloodred het hypo. But if you bred hypo het bloodred to bloodred het hypo you have a greater chance of getting hypo bloodreds.

I don't quite agree with that.


Let's do some math. So here are the genes we're talking about:

H = non-hypo (normal)
h = hypo
D = non-bloodred (normal)
d = bloodred

Bloodred het. Hypo genotype would be (dd Hh) so breeding two of these together:

dd Hh + dd Hh

dd HH = bloodred
dd Hh = bloodred het. hypo
dd hH = bloodred het. hypo (just to indicate that the hatchling may get the the hypo gene from either mom or dad. Normally this would be marked as dd Hh)
dd hh = hypo bloodred

And as seen here: 1/4 of the hatchlings (25%) are pure bloodreds with no hets. 2/4 of the hatchlings (50%) are bloodred het. hypos. And 1/4 (25%) are hypo bloodreds.


And then the other breeding:

Hypo het. Bloodred (Dd hh) + Bloodred het. Hypo (dd Hh)

Dd Hh = Normal het. Bloodred, Hypo
dd Hh = Bloodred het. Hypo
Dd hh = Hypo het. Bloodred
dd hh = Hypo Bloodred

25% of hatchlings are normals, 25% bloodred het. hypos, 25% hypo het. bloodreds and 25% are hypo bloodreds.


So with both combinations you have 25% chance of getting hypo bloodreds. And mathematically if you got 100 babies 25 of them should be hypo bloodreds. Of course mr. Murphy has it's ways to mix everything up, but that's the mathematics.

Which breeding should be made has to be decided on the basis of what colour babies you want to have. If you want to have as much bloodreds as possible (which I'd recommend) and no Normals and Hypos, then you should do the breeding above: Bloodred het. Hypo + Bloodred het. Hypo. If you want a clutch with many different colours, then do the later example Hypo het. Bloodred + Bloodred het. Hypo.

thanks... wow you sure like to type lol!

thanks... wow you sure like to type lol!

I like to type and I looooooooooove genetics.

LOL

You're welcome.

Sorry...

this may be a little :-offtopic but does anyone know of a good place that sells all i need? (preferably not Petco lol):grabbit:

Try shopping online. Ebay has everything you need, if you are an auction junky like myself, and you can get some great deals if you like to watch for items!
