question about recessive morphs

lets say i have an albino male, and breed him to a normal female. is there any difference (except odds) in breeding a poss. het to the albino vs. a poss. het to poss. het?

Other then odds? If I get what your saying not really. However if you breed a albino to a normal all the babies will be 100% het albino.

A poss. het, which are usually 66% or 50% het, means they only have a 66% or 50% chance of being a het albino. So if you bred the albino to a poss. het and that poss. het proved out to be a 100% het, you would have half albinos and half 100% het albino. However, if the poss het turned out to not be a het at all it would be just like breeding to a normal, all the babies would be 100% het albino, and the poss het would then be considered a normal.

The idea situation for you would be to have a male albino and two poss. het females. That way you could breed the male albino to the poss. hets to prove the hets out.

I hope this answers your questions and good luck

also het just means that the animal carries the gene albino but the gene isn't visible.

Any recessive to a normal, the outcome is going to be a 100% het for that morph. Meaning its a normal ball python but carries the recessive morph gene.

Possible hets are either 66% or 50% het. These happen when you breed 100% to 100% or 100% to a normal. The 100 to 100 are 66% the 100 to normal is 50. The 66 and 50 hets mean the percentage of that animal carrying the recessive gene. When breeding poss hets its always a gamble.

The difference is that if you breed an albino to a poss het, the guaranteed outcome is that all of the babies will be 100% yet. IF you produce some visual albinos than you just proved that your possible het snake is actually a 100% het albino. When breeding a 100% to a visual the chances of each egg are 50% albino 50% normal het albinos.

Possible het to a possible het is a gamble. If you produce an albino than the two are actually 100% het albinos. But if you produce all normals than you have just normals and one of the two or both snakes are not het for albino. OR you just missed the odds of getting a visual albino.

i was more wondering if there is a difference when breeding parent to child VS. child to child, is there one that has more chance for deformity or complications, or does it not matter. sorry, i should have worded the original question differently

From what I hear either way is ok as long as you don't continually do it.

okay thankyou
