What would you get?

What would most likely get if you mate a snow with a normal red?

with no unknown hets in the snow or normal you should produce Normals het Anery, Amel

So what your saying is without knowing the history on both parents.

I'd say the normal has probabl got hets and so probably does the snow. I bred my Normal female Rose to my male Silver Queen Ghost Kasper and was expecting only normals to hatch, but instead I got Amels, anery's, ghosts, hypos, normals and snow's out 19 eggs.

Exactly. If the genetic history is unknown then you could end up with all kinds of different morphs or you could end up with all normals. Seems most captive bred animals have some hets and amel and anery seem to be pretty common.

Thanks for all the info. My snow is captive bred, but I have 2 normals that we caught on our farm. I am trying to order a couple of books from Kathy Love. I can't figure out how to order from her web site. I E mailed her.
