Quad het ball python????

Could this happen? Has it already happened?

Example: Caramel Pied x Albino Clown= 4 het babies??? or just a bunch of double hets that you don't know what's what?

I'm sure if this is possible, that the odds of hitting a 4 recessive gene snake would be very high.

I was just thinking:confused:

I've only seen like 3 or 4 triple het projects. chance of hitting a triple from a pair of triple hets is 1/64, chance of hitting a quad from a quad het is 1/256. havn't herd of a a quad recessive project so far.

They'd all be quadruple hets.

Yeah lol these numbers are correct. It would produce all quad hets, which if you bred together would give you a 1/256 chance for a quaddruple visual recessive ball python. Pretty exciting if you think about it, Im sure were not too many years off here. Eventually somebodys gonna make it.

1/256 :tears: even with retic sized clutches that would be like hitting the black ball jackpot.

im sure someone out there has had quad het snakes at some point, the most recessives ive seen in a snake at one time though is 3, it was a caramel genetic stripe hypo, and it was beautiful, i wish i could remember where i saw it

Jeremy Smith @ Fireball I think

I thought that the chances would huge on hitting odds like that:O

I'm would think that RDR, BHB, NERD, and others have something cooking on the back burner. A project like that would take years and alot of luck......

yes would get quad hets... just as if you bred a super pewter x super enchi red axanthic, all of your babies would carry one copy of each gene, black pastel pastel enchi het red...... when you breed visual recessive (or super form) every offspring inherits one of those genes

i googled his site, and the page popped up, but i got the 404 "this page does not exist" thing or whatever it is, i'll keep looking though
