Re: Making a new morph for the community
So I just read through this plan and a lot of people have already said most of what I wanted to say. However, I do have one question for you: You said that you have a 1/64 shot of getting a certain combo that you're aiming for. How long do you expect it to take to get that 1/64 chance when you're starting out with only single genes and hets. I may be going out on a limb here, but if you thought that multiple males could sire one egg, then we need to have a discussion about genetics and reproduction. If you do understand that only ONE male can fertilize an egg, then you've got 10+ years, I bet, before you're able to produce the combos you'll need in order to produce your 1/64 combo. I can guarantee it won't be the first by then.

I don't see anything wrong shooting for firsts. I believe I will be the first to hit a few combos, hopefully in less than 5 years. What everyone is getting at is, you can't be ignorant of the years involved and the risk of failures. If you understand that, then welcome to the fun. You can cut down on the time involved by buying snakes that are farther along genetically or have rarer genes which fewer people work with, but generally both will cost more than the average hobbyist is willing to pay.
Something else to think about, let's say there are 100 base morphs, that leaves 10,000ish double combos to be made or 1,000,000ish triple combos. I'm sure you can find something to make. Just there are many other people potentially doing the same thing.
Re: Making a new morph for the community
BHeptiles yes i understand genetics and i am looking for females for my 1 male rite now and 1/32 chance is what owal says and im not buying the 2 or 3 gene morphs to start cause im want to create all the morphs im going to use my self. Thats part of the reason we ar all in this aint it. Maybe my final morph will change but along the way i will creat some really prety ones especially with all the fantastic help from that 1 place bp.net.
