genetic wizard 3.0?

I'm going to spend so much of my life on that page. haha

Thanks for the help folks!

Here is a simple one:

The Bumble Bee: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/bumble-bee/

So now you know that you need a spider and a pastel to produce a bumble bee so you put them into the genetics calculator:

You can then look into other morphs that include the pastel and spider genetics and compare them to other options.

On this note, however. How does this work?

There is only one Co-Dominant trait listed.

That means that it is a "base morph" Base morphs occur naturally in the wild and only have 1 mutated gene. The only way to produce a mystic is to first have one.

OK. That makes a lot of sense. So, basically, any of the "base morphs" could happen simply by breeding 2 normals? It's just an incredibly long shot on some of them?

And regarding thousands of dollars being lost...As I said, I'm a LONG way from breeding (if ever). But genetics fascinate me. I've always been one of those "I wonder what happens if we mix this together" guys :)

Thats bc its not a combo. Its the same as a pastel.

base morphs differ from designer morphs (also known as combo morphs or multi gene animals)

to produce a designer morph you have to breed 2 or more base morphs together

Once again with the bumble bee example:

the bumble bee is a designer morph. To produce one you breed a pastel and spider together. tPastels and spiders are both base morphs.

While it is technically possible, it is extremely unlikely. Base morphs evolved in the wild over a long period of time. they have 1 gene that has mutated making them different from a "normal" Ball python.
