what would a tangerine albino honduran thats 100% het for snow make if bred to another of its excact type? it would be 50% snow and 50% albino right? thanks

I think that's what it would be. Give it a shot though.
I wonder what would happen if I bred my easterns with my checkered. Would all babies be het for the blue? I always thought that it would be half and half. Is that even a gene that would be present in all the snakes? Would they even breed successfully?

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

none would be hets it would be a mix of the patterns, it could end up bad, or it could end up good ive seen hybrids that are cooler than the original, in my life time i would like try something like that, you should give it a try

Another question what would the albino tangerine 100% het for snow if bred with a nomal tangerine 100% het for albino or a albino tangerine(not het for anything)?

Hi Reed,
I´ll try to answere your questions all in one:
1. If you breed two albinos het for snow ( het for anerythistic) together you´ll get only 25% snows 50% albinos het for snow and 25% albinos (het of nothing) Because you can´t see the differneces all your albinos should be called "66% pos. het" for anrythristic (or snow).
2. If you breed your to a het albino you´ll get:
50% albinos and 50 % het albinos all these are "50% pos. het" for anerythristic as well.
3. If you breed your albino het for snow to a normal you´ll get:
100% het for albino that are 50% het for anerythistic as well.

haha ok i think im just gunna stick with getting normal albinos to breed :) much easier

Hi Reed, Here's another link on genetics. Starts at "genetics 101" and goes up to "Genetics 601" The Learning Center - Genetics 101 (http://www.vmsherp.com/LCGenetics101.htm)
and here's one on honduran milksnakes. Albino Tricolors - Terry Dunham Proprietor (http://www.albinotricolors.com/genetics.html)
I have a pair of hondurans that are double het for ghost. Not old enought to breed yet.

That looks like "high end" genetics.
I don´t like to read such in English before 5.00 am;)

Yeah , some of that stuff will just about give you a headache.

I´m wondering how many years it will take to make garter genetics as complicatet as those of corn snakes?

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

i guess 10 :D

I dont know. I do have a couple breeding projects started with color morphs(albino-het snow kenyan sand boas, double het hondurans, and a newly aquired striped albino pacific gophersnake), but I personally love good natural examples of species the most.
Specifically, many of the corn snake morphs are really neat, but I think the champ of them all is the classic "okeetee" style. Here's a pic off Kathy Loves website. http://www.cornutopia.com/Corn%20Utopia%20on%20the%20Web/Photo%20&%20Image%20Stockpile%20-%20CornUtopia/OKEETEE%20collage%20-%20CAPTION.jpg

hey
from what I just found out about Sammy, it's already pretty complicated
she's het for three different strains

That is one goreous snake. I LOVE the black and white underside.

Hans,

I just noticed the genetics article you wrote and provided a link for on the first page. Very nicely done, my friend :).

A little late of a reaction, but thanks Rick...

I'm no expert on that area though, so if some day you've got the time to review it...

And still, everybody is invited to write a little more about a morph they have and to provide a picture:)
