    breeding morphs, what will I get?
    okay so I'm just curious about this and I'm sure someone on this forum has answers. if I were to breed a genetic stripe with a piebald what would I get?

    Double het piebald and genetic stripe. Pairing the double hets together you could produce normals, more hets, genetic stripes, piebalds and piebald genetic stripes.

    thank you for replying (: is there anyway to eliminate the chance of getting norms ?

    when dealing with recessives, only if you breed visuals together.

    Only way to do that would be to breed two genetic stripe peibalds together. When starting a double recessive project, you're going to end up with hets, and those hets will produce the end animal you want if you hit the odds right.

    thanks for the information. I'm planning on getting a female or two just not sure what morph I should go with yet. 😁 I won't be breeding til my male is of age though so it's like a year wait. I have a genetic stripe male, I just wanna get some nice morphs.

    You did that sooooo backwards.....
    Females are 2 to 3 years to grow out.
    Nales can be good to go in 6 months.

    I plan on buying a female that is 3 years old. I know they need to be 1500+ grams and 2-3 years. I'm newer to snakes but I've done research on them.

    The problem is that the older females are going to be more expensive than an older male would be. I think what Pit was saying is if you buy the baby female cheap and raise her up to breeding size then buy your male cheaper you can save money on the project. I would imagine that breed ready females are going to be harder to find due to supply and demand but may be even harder to find the specific morph that you would want especially when you are working with a recessive gene like genetic stripe.

    I personally am working with 2 recessives in albino and piebald I went ahead and purchased 1.1 hets on both at the same time and raised them both up. I just recently picked up the visual breed ready piebald male to speed up the process of producing my own.

    that is true. but on some websites you can find some decent prices on morphs. I got my g stripe from Oklahoma, I'm just wanting to produce some cool morphs. guess I'll keep researching before deciding what morph I want my female to be.thank you for your reply. like I said I'm newer to this and don't quite understand everything there is to breeding and stuff like that.
