genetic wizard 3.0?

how accurate is genetic wizard 3.0??????:confused:

really accurate.
Why? Are you having problems using it?

I have never seen it be wrong.

na i just wanted to know if it was good to go to to see morph mixing

A really newb question....

Why are there no "normal" listed in the Genetic Wizard? What if someone started breeding with one morph and a normal? Is there a general formula used then?

Reading is good for you lol, from the Genetic wizard Page:

In order to breed a snake to a normal ball python, leave one side of the wizard blank and that snake will be treated as normal.

Well, I'm a dumbass! :weirdface

Thanks, though. :)

Maybe I'm missing something else here, so I apologize in advance. Is there any way (even if not on this page) to look at a morph, and find out exactly what combinations have what percentage of producing that?

It's way out of my league right now, but I'm thinking that if I ever wanted to get into breeding, it might be nice to work backwards.

Example:

I want Z.
Z is the result 25% of the time of X and Y.
X is the result 50% of the time of A and B.
and so on...

I think i understand what your saying and i believe the answer is no. That would involve sooooo many diferent combos its unreal. What you mean is like how can i get a super pastel? From a: pastel x pastel, pastel x super pastel, bumblebee x pastel, bumblebee x bumblebee, etc etc... It would take foreverrrrr, just think about all the combos that could make just a super pastel...

The closest thing that you will come to what you want is this:

What you do is go to "Z" page on World of Ball Pythons, and see what the morphs needed to produce "Z" are, then plug them into the Genetic Calculator.

Here is a simple one:

The Bumble Bee: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/bumble-bee/

So now you know that you need a spider and a pastel to produce a bumble bee so you put them into the genetics calculator:

You can then look into other morphs that include the pastel and spider genetics and compare them to other options.

I'm going to spend so much of my life on that page. haha

Thanks for the help folks!

On this note, however. How does this work?
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/mystic/

There is only one Co-Dominant trait listed.

That means that it is a "base morph" Base morphs occur naturally in the wild and only have 1 mutated gene. The only way to produce a mystic is to first have one.

OK. That makes a lot of sense. So, basically, any of the "base morphs" could happen simply by breeding 2 normals? It's just an incredibly long shot on some of them?

And regarding thousands of dollars being lost...As I said, I'm a LONG way from breeding (if ever). But genetics fascinate me. I've always been one of those "I wonder what happens if we mix this together" guys :)

Thats bc its not a combo. Its the same as a pastel.

base morphs differ from designer morphs (also known as combo morphs or multi gene animals)

to produce a designer morph you have to breed 2 or more base morphs together

Once again with the bumble bee example:

the bumble bee is a designer morph. To produce one you breed a pastel and spider together. tPastels and spiders are both base morphs.

While it is technically possible, it is extremely unlikely. Base morphs evolved in the wild over a long period of time. they have 1 gene that has mutated making them different from a "normal" Ball python.

Actually keep the posts coming!!!

I'm close to having the stock I need To be producing Queen bees and others

It all starts with a lesser :D

No questions. As of yet, I have read read and read some more.. I think I am going in the right direction starting with. Platinum Lesser male for a albino normal female

Then maybe a spider or a pied
