Here I have a possible diffused coral ghost. Problem is both parents were het diffused but it is hard to tell if this guy is or isn't.

What do you guys think? isn't he a cutie pie, he has no name yet.
He is possible diffused, vanishing stripe coral ghost, I do not know if he has any hets but the possible diffusion which is only at 66% which I don't understand if both parents were het for it..??

If one parent is homogen and one parent het = 100% of babies het or homogen
If one parent het and other not het = 50% of babies het
If both parents het = 66% of babies het or homogen

(Hope I didn't mess that up, I'm a noob.)
 
I just dont understand where the number 66% comes from.. I need to read more about that math for sure.

does anyone knw how I can tell for sure?
 
The way to tell for sure is to breed it.

And I'm sure there is an article or a more knowledgable person who can tell you how genetics works. I just look at it like I look at most science, it's as proven by someone and accepted by the group.
 
Where the 66% comes from:

This requires a punnet square, or at least the general shape thereof. It's a square, divided into 4 smaller squares. When using it with parents that are both het for a particular trait, the square works out to have one box with a homozygous animale, 2 boxes with a het animal, and 1 box with an animal that does not carry the mutation at all.

Now, remove from those 4 boxes the single box with the visual animal. This leaves you with 3 boxes wherein there are normal looking animals. Now, in reality, you'd have no idea which of these snakes is het and which do not carry the gene. Of those 3 boxes, two have the gene and one does not. 2/3 have the gene. 1/3 does not. And 2/3 is 66%.
