Plasma?

So next year I am planning on starting a breeding project to get Plasma (Lavender Bloodred) corns, however i am not sure about how I am going to do this because my 3 bloodreds are all het for anery and stripe. If i bred one of my females to the lavender, they would have expo(normal) babies that were het for Plasma and poss. het for anery stripe. If the hold backs that i keep next year contain the anery genes and stripe genes (stripe im not worried about) will the anery effect the color of the plasma corn drastically; if it does, does it look good on the snakes or not as good as a normal plasma would ... i want to make some nice looking plasmas and i don't want to add so many genes that it no longer looks appealing or should i buy a normal bloodred with no hets to make it less of a chance that the anery will make it look different. If anyone can help straighten this out for me it would be appreciated.
Plus if the anery would be good with the plasma corn, and it is nothing to worry bout then i might be getting into a better project then i thought. (and this would be stupid of me to post too....)
 
I would not change a thing about that breeding group...Quite honestly you have a great start with some excellent potentially sellable residual offspring.. Who would I be to turn away a possible stripped granite in the mix.. I don't think it is very likely to get a blood with no proven hets as good as your idea really sounds!

Keep up this project, sounds exciting!

Regards.. Tim of T and J

I allways say, the more genes the better. It will increase the chances to produce all diffrent morphs and new morphs.

Why go through all that trouble when you can buy one off me this year. I have two gravid females from the mystery project, but thoese will be hypo lavender bloodreds and peach/mystery bloodreds

I have a male bloodred het for stripe, hypo, lavender, poss. het. for amel, anery A & B . This year I bred him to 4 females and still got one more to go.

#1 His full blood sister a normal het for bloodred, lavender, hypo, stripe, poss. het. for amel, anery A & B

#2 His half sister a bloodred het for hypo, lavender, poss. het. for stripe, amel, anery A & B .

#3 Hypo bloodred het for anery B, poss. het for lavender.

#4 Hypo bloodred het for anery A, poss. het. for caramel, amel, stripe.

#5 Petwer het for hypo poss. het. for lavender. It is sister to #3 and has not bred yet
 
I would stick with your current stock as well. If I had a blood het stripe anery and wanted to start a lav blood project I would breed it to a lav mot. That way you would get mot/stripes and normals het lav, blood poss het anery. Anery in the mix might be cool. You never know. :shrugs:

Because some people like to create the morphs themselves. I know it gives me a good sense of satisfaction; sure I could have just bought it, but it's more fun this way.

yea i agree with you on this ... i want to get a project started and say that I produced these animals ... plus being in high school, i have no more time or money to spend on any new snakes plus i have no more room for them either. Im still not sure how an anery plasma would turn out but now i feel better about it and want to see how it will come. Thanks all for replying.
 
That sounds like a great plan. Good luck with your breeding, I'm sure you'll think more of any snakes you breed for yourself than if you just bought them
 
Anerythrism won't drastically affect your project as far as the Lavender component is concerned. Lavender/Anerythristics don't look dramatically different from just Lavenders. There is a slight difference, but not enough to throw your plans out the window over.
 
GOOD LUCK , I wish you the best Hope you get a bunch of wild morphs. Here is a pic of a lavender anery A corn
