Genetic's question.

Okay here is the deal I have a few snakes now, they include a Female Ivory, Male Yellow Belly Pastel, Male Fireball, Female Fireball, and I can get as many normals for VERY cheap so consider the fact that I have an unlimited of normals to work with. I can also get a cheap Male or Female Black Pastel, so lets say that I also have that. So the question is what would be the best thing to do as far as cross breeding with these morphs and what are there gene percentages. Hope this makes sense.

Example:

Female Ivory x Male Pastel Yellow Belly =

__% Ivories
__% Yellowbellies
__% Pastel Yellowbellies

Male Pastel Yellow Belly x Female Fire = ?
Female Ivory x Male Fire = ?
Female Black Pastel x Male Pastel Yellow Belly?
Morphs x Normals = ?
etc...

Out of this group what are the best combos to make? I know the obvious Fire x Fire = Black Eyed Lucy, and Ivory x Pastel Yellow Belly = Pastel Ivories, but how about any others?

And anything that I put with a normal would produce a normal looking with Het of that morph right?

I apologize for my ignorance but I am still learning.

And.... if there is another morph that I can throw into this bunch that is not insanely expensive ($200-$400), what would it be?

Out of everything listed, nothing would come out as hets. Everything you have on here is co-dominant, so that's why there aren't any hets(in the technical sense, all non super forms of codom animals are hets, but since they are visual mutations, they really aren't called hets).

I would look for a female Cinny to go with your Pastel YB for Pewter YBs and I would also put your Pastel YB in with your Fire.

Here is a good site for checking to see what your odds are.

If you hold down the control key when picking the traits you can add more than one on each snake.
