    possible combinations to snow morph?
    hey guys I needed a few ideas on how to get a snow by breeding different morphs. Can any1 name some combinations to getting a snow ball python?

    axanthic x albino = double hets

    raise/breed double hets = 1 in 16 odds of producing a snow.

    Yup...what Vaughn said. It's the only way I know of to make a Snow BP.

    yup yup... That's all folks...:)

    don't forget about the 1 in 16 chance....

    I found to normals (both female) that are double het for snow, if I bred them with a normal male what are some of the balls I could expect to see?

    a normal bred to a DH Snow would give you normal appearing 50% DH snow babies.

    If you are going to spend the money on a female DH Snow, why not pick up a male DH snow too?

    Make sure you are getting them from a reliable source. DH VPI snows generally cost around $9000-10000 per pair. Female around $7000. Males around $2500-3000. DH Joliff snow pairs can usually be bought for under $5000 but produce a lower quality snow IMO.

    Here is a great link for double het genetics:

    get the DHSN pair and try your luck. Worse case is that you don't get the snow, but the positive is everything else is a morph... Axanthic, Albinos, DHSN, etc....

    Seems like a good deal.. Gotta love double hets....:D

    All that genetics stuff is all to confusing to me. I understand some of it but most of it goes in 1 ear and out the other.

    If you plan on picking up some DH snows, I would try to figure out a little of the genetics. It is not that hard to understand for basic recessive and codom/dom traits, but when you start mixing things it can get complicated.

    Here is a site that has great visuals:

    Scroll to the bottom where it says click for illustration.

    Try something like dom's/co-dom's if you're not comfortable with the recessive stuff for the moment. Consider it a stepping stone if you will. :twocents:
