    Help

    Hi I am kind of new at this and I am curious as to what het means and I am going to eventually breed my male norm boomer when he gets that old. I want to get a female morph to breed with him. What would be a good morph to breed with boomer to get the coolest looking morphs? thanks in advance

    Het means they carry the gene to make a morph. For example, a het pied carries one copy of the pied gene, but needs to be bred to another snake that is a pied or is a het pied to make a pied.

    You should breed your normal to a codom or dom because they are visual morphs. Pastels are codom and spiders are doms. If you breed your normal to a pastel you will get pastels and normals, no hets because codoms/doms are visual morphs.

    Here's a cool website that can explain it visually http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html
