What would you get?

Hello all,

I have been reading for a while and want to say thanks for everyone for tips and advice they post up here.

Here is my question, my boyfriend and I already have a 100% het ghost male and have found for sale a 100% het albino female. If we mated these two, what could possibly come from the clutch?

Thanks again everyone and I look forward to the responses. :)

Everything would have a 50% chance of being a het for each trait.
In other words you'd have a mess :P

Your best bet might be to pick up a female het ghost and try to make a ghost, it's a 1 in 4 odds.

You should be able to pick up a female pastel 100% het ghost fairly inexpensively and then you could would have a
1 in 8 chance of Normals
1 in 4 chance of Normal 100% Het Ghost
1 in 8 chance of Pastel
1 in 4 chance of Pastels 100% Het Ghost
1 in 8 chance of Visual Ghost
1 in 8 chance of Pastel Visual Ghost

^ That would be a really fun breeding.

Plus IF you breed your het ghost to het albino and get 50% possible hets to prove out and eventually many years down the road you get a ghost albino I don't know that you would even be able to tell it from a normal albino since they both reduce the black pigment. Ghosts only slightly reduce the black and albinos take it out completely. If that s what you really want to produce don't let anyone talk you out of it but I think it's alot of time and effort for an animal that you may or may not be able to tell apart from a normal looking albino.

Hey since you re in Florida, there are plenty of shows and great breeders down there. You can most likely easily find a great het ghost female or some kind of morph het for ghost fem. I personally really like the look of the spider ghost. If you can find a female spider het ghost, your odds of hitting a really pretty snake would again as stated above would be 1/8. Goodluck with whatever your choice.
With the het. albino, I think that project would take way too long to prove out and really not worth the time.

How would they produce pastels? :confused: To the OP you would get all 50% possible double hets

Kelly was explaining the results of a 100% het Ghost x Pastel 100% het Ghost ;)

Thanks everyone for the answers. :) Actually, we have met up with a couple of breeders in our area and one has a 100% het albino male that we are looking at. I was just curious with what we would get, we actually right now have our het ghost in with a normal female (well, we think she is normal, she was a rescue) and we plan on letting nature take its course come breeding season. :D

So your attempting to make a bunch of pos hets.
Is this just for experience breeding or do you have plans to save back the pos hets and try to prove them?

well, the normal with the ghost is for experience, but we are looking to eventually breed some visuals. :)

Someone gave me this link one time. Its the link of a genetic wizard. should help if you have questions about what you get. :) All the different combinations makes my head hurt ..
