DHs

I have a quick question about double hets. Especially with RedTails, but any info would be helpful. Anery x Albino = DH for Snow. These will all be DH, correct? Now, my question, will they be albino, anery, or neither but carry the gene for both? It's probably silly, but I needed to know.

Yup! ;)

The only silly question is one not asked. ;)

Wow, that was quick. Thanks man, I can always count on you. So, they will be normal,but carry the gene for both? Sorry I just want to be dead right on this.

As long as they are both recessive mutations. I know NOTHING about boas, so if there was co-dom form of the anery mutation in boas, there could be anery het albinos in the litter. If anery and albino are both recessive traits, then the babies will appear normal but carry the gene for both traits.

They are both recessive. Double het would have to mean that they are het for both, but are showing neither. That makes sense now, thanks!
