I emailed every genetics calculator, reptile related or not, on the math behind the punnet square and got no response from anyone, expect some guy telling me to figure it out myself (actually what he said I would get another infraction for repeating). So thats what I did. But after getting no help from the community in this area, im not giving out the source code, tho it will be free to use. btw it wouldn't fit on one piece of paper.

What did you find difficult about it, do you not understand heterozygous and homozygous? I was thinking it would need a "how-to". most people don't get genetic explained to them correctly. lemme know what got you stuck and ill explain it.

im still working on getting the complexes to work, I got it to the point where it will do like butter/lesser x lesser correct and butter/lesser x mojave/mystic. just it get confused when both animals have the same complex with the same gene lesser/butter x butter/mojave. still working that bug out then I will update the original calculator. but I am working on it, just havn't had much time.

m...m...math?
AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

:bolt:

Alrite, I added complexes. Let me know if something seems screwed up.

I might change to American flag sort for speed.

This seems to need a bit more tweaking... some of the combo names overlap or something:

Am I misunderstanding? Killer Blast/Super Blast the same thing? Is Sterling Pastel the same as Sterling?

By the way, awesome job with the calculator!

thats why I made this page
http://www.owalreptiles.com/tradenames.php

Killer blast = super pastel/spider/pin
Super blast = super pastel/pin
Sterling Pastel = Sterling = Super pastel/cinny

and thanks

I just reread what you wrote, are you possibly looking at cinnapin and cinnaspin?
cinnapin = cinnamon/pinstripe
cinnaspin= cinnamon/pinstripe/spider

Okay I might not be clicking the correct things but,

When I try het. Piebald female X het. Piebald male I get Error message. It should be basic 25% normal, 50% het Piebald, 25% Piebald correct?

Again it could be the silly human over here:taz: just let me know if my wits have gone begging!

Awesome programming!
