One completely wrong answer, one completely correct answer and one answer that makes an assumption that may or may not be correct. I stand by my post as the completely correct one.

I'm not making an assumption about anything. A clutch of normal 33% possible het pieds is
worth as much as a clutch of normals in today's market. A knowledgeable person wouldn't even advertise them as such. I understand that a het can produce a het, but I'm not going to sugar coat a possible het x normal pairing to be more than it is.

It is worth significantly more in experience value if you want to count that.

But you answered it with an assumption that the snake either proved out or didn't, which isn't part of the scenario. With the given information, there is no way to know if the babies will be 50% het or not het at all. Shrodinger is crap science, you cannot have both scenarios be true at the same time, therefore all that would be produced from this clutch would be "possible hets".

Now, if the op was so inclined to attempt to prove out the sire before breeding it to a normal (don't breed him to a normal, by the way. It's not a productive combination) then we would get somewhere with knowing exactly what would be produced.

I hate everything about the schrodinger experiment, by the way. Touched nerve, sorry for the rant.

I have no disagreement, I clearly stated it was a poor pairing and assuming the possible het is not a het is not unreasonable. I think it's important to give the newcomers accurate answers to their questions. The additional info on market value etc is also valid and worthwhile to the OP, but does not answer the OP's question. Time for me to leave this thread:)

I agree that Dennis' answer was correct. :)
