    question on morphs
    if the parents are

    albino het snow
    anery het snow

    (this is boas but i figure it will be the same as balls)

    what is the outcome going to be? it confuses me when there is het something when they are already full something else.

    Well what you are saying is that you are breeding an

    Albino Het Anery to an Anery Het Albino

    No, saying

    25% Normal het Snow
    25% Anery het Snow
    25% Albino het Snow
    25% Snow

    is the same as saying

    25% Normal het anery/albino
    25% Anery het albino
    25% Albino het anery
    25% Snow

    Re: question on morphs
    Yes, you could get snows by breeding it to another het snow. Both anery and albino are recessive genes and when a snake is "het" that means it carries one copy of the gene. For a recessive gene to show, a snake needs to have both copies. Because the baby snake gets one gene from each parent, as long as it gets a copy of the gene from each parent you get a visual.

    However, breeding 2 het snows together only gives you a 1/16 chance of getting a snow.

    yeah i understand the whole concept with the genes except when theres more than one included. then it confuses me lol

    so what if the het snow was with an albino or het albino. and why exactly is it 1 outta 16 chance now? would there still be het albinos and anerys in the clutch?

    Re: question on morphs
    If the het snow was with an albino, you would get half normals and half albinos and all of the babies would have a 50% chance of being het anery. If you paired the het snow with a het albino, 25% of the babies would be visual albinos and the rest would be 66% het albino. All of the babies would still have a 50% chance of being het anery.

    Breeding a het snow to a het snow has a 1/16 chance of producing a visual snow because of both genes involved. When you breed a het to a het, 1/4 of the babies are visual. Because a snow needs to genes, you have to hit this 1/4 chance with both genes, resulting in a 1/16 chance.

    Yes, when you breed a het snow to a het snow, you will also het anerys poss het albino and albinos poss het anery.
