Hello everyone,
well i am happy to report my first ever clutch hatched yesterday. I was expecting all normals, boy was shocked to see what came out of the eggs. It has left me confused on what the parents are het for. any help would be appreciated.

The Male is amel- hets unknown, the female is a normal (miami) hets unknown.
The babies that hatched are as follows:
6 Amels
2 Snow
2 Anery

Also what would it make the babies het for?

Thanks everyone for the help!
 
The male is amel het anery.

The female is normal het amel and het anery.

The anerys are het for amel.

The amels are 66% possible het for anery.

The snows are snows, no known hets or possible hets.

:santa:
 
I think there are circulating a lot of unknown hets .
Sometimes I even think it is hard to get a " normal normal" , meaning not het for anything .
Normals are sometimes "byproducts " of breeding some different morphs together .
IMO :crazy02:
 
just a question, I may be being ignorant here...
but how do you know the male is het for anery and the female a het amel and het anery, and not the other way round?
sorry if I'm being dumb here,
Chris

I think Serp saw your signature.... the male is an amel, since he produced anery's and snows, he must be het anery. Since the lady is a normal and produced amels, anery's (and snows), she has to be het amel and anery (or said different; het snow) :)

Louisiana found cornsnakes. i dont know of any that have proven het for anything. which makes them very ideal for outcrossing.

I managed to end up with one. :rolleyes:

I was hoping for a some sort of surprise when I bred her to my amel but ended up with a bunch of normals. I already knew the amel wasn't het for anery so unless the normal is het for anery then I very much doubt she's het for anything given that morphs other than amel and anery are much less common here in the UK.

Nice result from an amel x normal breeding with no known hets mind you. :)

To make matters worse....what if one of the parents were het hypo, motley, stripe etc.......then all the offspring could have acquired that gene...thus....you could have some other hets.... :grin01: :sidestep:

So, Serp is right with no other KNOWN hets or possible hets....but you never know what is floating around! :crazy02:
