Axanthic female- what should I breed her to?

[zoologist]

Hey guys,
I have a 1600g Jolliff axanthic female who is ready to breed this season but I'm unsure who to breed her with. Should I breed her with my cinny or pastel male or should I save up and try to find a male codom het for jolliff. Basically i'm trying to figure out if breeding to get codom hets reccessive will sell.

First off never breed to sell, breed what you like!! If it don't sell it will be you having to look at it everyday Personally I love axanthic spiders and pins. That's where I would go if I had her. Pastels and cinnies are more of a colored morph and wont have near the effect from adding the axanthic gene. Pins and spiders are a pattern morph and will really set off the axanthic effect. Hope this makes some kind of sence.

What he said.

I love axanthic killerbees for example so would breed her to a bumblebee and hold back a male bumblebee het for axanthic (and a female pastel het axanthic ) if I was lucky enough to hatch them and breed the male offspring to her when it was ready and pray for at least one male axanthic bumblebee.

Then when the female pastel het axanthic was breeding age I would breed the male axanthic bumblebee to her and pray very, very hard.

I would of course use new blood versions at each step if I could buy or find someone to trade for them.

Now the question is what morph do you love most with axanthic in it?

^^^ The piexanthic is probably my favorite but pricey. I'm pretty sure i've seen pastel het axanthics for sale, which would be nice b/c I could get visuals in the first generation.


I could breed her to my Lazik Tiger male, but It would take a while to get a visual tiger axanthic.

Heh,

Well unless you are using another snake that is at least het Joliff axanthic everything is going to take a while to produce a visual.

Is the tiger a co-dom or dom morph? ( I can't remember )

Those are the ones that could give you visuals in one or two years if the male offspring cooperated.

This line of Tiger is dom

Hi,

It is nice - but double recessives mean at least 3-4 years for the double homozygous. It would probably be worth it but somepeople hate long term projects.

Bear in mind if those pastels were TSK or VPI line axanthic hets they are of no real use to you.

I would go Pastel. But thats just me, You could go cinny, or even better BOTH! You could also get a young male spider. Het Axanthic Pastels, Cinny's and Spiders out of a single mom would be awesome

I would prefer to breed it to something that may take awhile, but would make an amazing combo.....

Maybe an enchi, or even that tiger it might make an amazing silver.

I don't expect anyone else would do this but I'd go for snow stripe or true ghost stripe.

If all I could afford was a double het male (lol, I’m actually using possible double het males) I wouldn't be afraid to breed her to a double het albino stripe male or double het ghost stripe male. Sure it's a long shot producing triple recessives even with all three genes nailed down 100% het much less with possible het on 2 of those but my attitude is you can't succeed if you don't try so why not. And if you can afford to nail down another gene with say a stripe het ghost or stripe het albino male then you are that much better off.
