    Just a couple of questions...

    So me and my friend are arguing over genetics. One of us says that if you breed a Spinner to a Normal, you are only able to produce Normals, Spiders, and Pinstripes. The other says, you can produce all those as well as Spinners. I'm not gonna say who argued what, because either way.. I'm gonna be right

    So help up out here? If you can provide any type of proof, that would be awesome as well

    Also...

    Is it horrible of me to want to breed a Blue Eyed Leuzistic just so I can have a source of reusable canvas? :S

    Re: Just a couple of questions...

    You would be able to produce normals, spiders, pins and spinners. Logically speaking, if you could produce spiders and pinstripes in the same clutch, then with the right odds you would definitely be able to get both traits in one snake. Argument over.
    1.0 Normal - Maynard
    1.0 POG - Victor
    0.1 YB - Diana

    0.1 Pastel Boa - Astrid
    1.0 Salmon Boa -

    1.1 Leopard Geckos

    0.3.2 Inverts

    Shadow120's ratio on breeding a spinner to a normal is correct. Yep you will have the chance of producing normals, pins, spiders and spinners all in one clutch given the right odds.

    Oh, and that BeL as a reusable canvas made my day LOL

    The only time 2 codom's will not both have the chance to be passed down is if they are in a super form. Like if you breed a super Pastel to a normal you will get all Pastels but no super Pastels. But if you breed a Spinner to a normal both the Spider and Pinstripe have a chance of being passed together.

    Proof: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/wi...84,d91&female=

    Their is some genes that act like a super when mixing and there for cant reproduce them selfs, but spinner isnt one of those.
