Yeah...

(wanders off to see if she can find out what sunglow IS, then...)

Sunkissed and lava are the other two hypo types, yeah--neither of those two are in there yet. Their incompatability could confuse things.
 
Yes, I did not put Sunglow in because it is not simple recessive. Sunkissed is a Hypo Okeetee right? Well Okeetee is not a morph and there for it is not in my program. Lava is too much brand new for me to use it in my program. I know I do miss some more like ZigZag/Aztec and others I am sure off but I might add these later.
 
Nah.

Nah, normal amel is hypo A, Sunkissed is hypo B, and lava is hypo C.

3 incompatable strains of hypomelanism. Nothing to do with Okeetee. Lava's already being crossed to produce stuff like Ice Ghosts.
 
WingedWolf...I am sure you didn't mean to say normal amel. I am assuming you mean normal hypo?

If I had to guess why the other hypo genes aren't in the program, it would be because the results you get from breeding them are not predictable.
 
I also included HypoB into my calculator - why shouldn't the results be predictable?!? The Question is, can you distingush the different types of Hypo if they are involved in one pairing by looking at the offspring... but thats not the problem of the program :)
 
??

Yeah, that goes without saying, I did indeed mean normal hypo. <lol>

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the results aren't predictable.

Breed two of a type together, and you get more hypos of the type. Breed a hypo of one type to another type, and you get normals that are het.
 
Sorry...I forgot to answer that part...

I have read many posts by Rich and others about how the hypo gene isn't predictable. For example, I read about how he bred 2 hypo lavenders together and did not get all hypo lavender looking animals. How can one call a regular looking snake with the normal amount of melanin hypo?
 
I think you're right. But nearly all "unregular" clutches that Rich describes have other morphs like lavender involved. Also think of the fact, that there are many many other clutches in which everything works fine with dominant/recessive traits.
I don't see a reason why I shouldn't work with "the" Hypos as dominant/recessive.
The calculator also doesn't so - YOU GET [...] it says you can get. And if you find a paring HypoLavender x HypoLavender - shouldn't we discuss if eventually Hypo & Lavender affect each other and don't destroy the dom/rec-thing because of one example against it?
 
OK, I agree.

That's why I give the User the chance to calculate his offspring including Bloodred and Aztec/ZigZag - we all know that these aren't predictable in a dominant/recessive way, but there are some people who like to work with it in this way. ....but I did use the heading "Special" and not Color or Pattern to make this clear.
