Anyone learned things that apply to other areas of life from BP's?

I never knew much about genetics before this hobby, now I nerd out on it.

So today I was thinking and realized I'm a recessive visual, as I'm blonde. My boyfriend has dark hair but his mom is blonde so if we had kids they would all be het for blonde and have a 50/50 chance of being blonde. I dislike blonde hair personally so am quite disappointed but glad I don't plan to have kids lol. They couldn't even get his pretty green eyes since green is recessive to blue and I've got no green to throw. Lol *rant.*


Anyone else learned anything/ applied anything they learned from this hobby to other aspects of life?

I told my wife if we breed snakes I could teach our kids about genetics, odds, reproduction. So to answer your question, yes learned another way to work the wife.

when i read this on FB i was lmfao and wanted to post but im not friends with him and it was on his wall lolol!

And yes i got into bps my sophmore year in highschool so i basically taught the genetics lessons in my AP Bio class! Well not really, but i could have! People were amazed at how i could do like 2-3 gene punnett squares in my head lol. I thought about EVERYTHING as bp genetics and it helped alot. I even caught the teacher once or twice when we learned about recessives and hets and poss hets and such. Im a HUGE genetics nerd bc of this hobby. It makes me sound SUPER smart whenever i talk about it too so i like that aspect of it too. Not many other topics that will make me sound smart when talking about them besides herps and football lmao!

Then make friends and rant! With Pookie too, would make pic-snooping much easier, stalker-face ;)
I realized recently that I have a better grasp of genetics than a guy at a local reptile store and they're a good reptile store and breed balls. He couldn't understand my comparison of a codom morph/ super codom to a het/ visual recessive and I was explaining my plan of breeding a visual Mojave OG to a visual lesser OG and he was saying I could get some hets. I just don't argue, he's been in this longer and clearly knows more than me. It made me proud of myself.

I remember the genetics lessons in high school, I went to an agricultural high school for a while so they were all about it but I didn't care then so I paid no attention and failed.

Double post

Patience... I didn't have it at all before these lil worms :D:gj:. Now I appreciate the light at the end of the tunnel. The ultimate goal. The reward for hard work and commitment :gj:.

Patience, and that my children will most likely be brunette het for blonde, with big shoulders and hips and hazel eyes with terrible tempers.
Also, to slow down and enjoy the subtle things in life

Wait what? Do I have a new fan? lol oooh lala :D

I forgot one! This is most definitely my favorite lesson too. Being healthy and beautiful does not mean you're skinny enough to see ribs and a backbone :D :D
