What would you breed to het ghost female?

I like earthtone animals with reduced pattern. I was playing around on Genetics wizard a bit...How do ghost combos work? What would you breed her to?
Obviously I know very little about genetics but, I'm learning! Just playing around with the idea.

Whatever it was would have to be het ghost or you would be wasting your time. It would all depend on what you have to breed or if your buying what you have to spend.

anything that is hypo or het hypo

Honeybees have a cool look to them so do hypo pins. Or you could go for the hypo spinner.

I would breed her to a fire hypo or pastel hypo but those are not really earthtones lol.

How about a lesser hypo or lesser het hypo male? Lesser's are pretty earth toned imo and you can find a nice reduced one if youre patient and look hard. :gj:

Like the post above me have said, something HYPO/HET HYPO.

The only way that you have the potential to hatch 'Visual Hypo' offspring is to breed the HET HYPO female with a HYPO or HET HYPO male. If you were to breed your 0.1 HET HYPO with 1.0 HYPO all of your non-visual offspring would be 100% HETS. If you bred HET HYPO X HET HYPO any non-visual offspring would be Possible HETS.

If I had a HET HYPO female near or at breeding size I'd be pairing her with either an Enchi Pastel Hypo or like mike said something Hypo Fire. If she was just a hatchling you have lots of time to decide.

I've never said HYPO som many times in 1 post... HYPO HYPO HYPO :taz:

First thing it depends on your budget, second it depends on what you like, you need to breed something het hypo or something hypo to your female to produce hypos or hypo combos.

This will help you grasp the basics http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...Basic-Genetics

My favorite hypo combo: Hypo Enchi

Well, this probably won't do any breeding for a few years, at least. I'm still a kid. Also little Indy is only 500 grams.

So if I bred her to a cheaper morph, like a spider, I wouldn't get any Hypos because it is reccessive. But I would still have a chance of getting more het ghost, spiders and normals, and there wouldn't be any spider het hypos? :confusd:

Is Indy a normal? (Saw your sig)
- If so there is no way you can get anything visually recessive from her, ever. She does not carry the genes for it.
- The only way you could get HETs or Possible Hets is if you bred her to a male ie Spider Het Hypo, or Hypo Spider... Then you could raise one of the female offspring in attempts to make Hypos. (If you were to choose this route I would start with a Hypo male to avoid offspring being possible hets)

Personally, if you are set on Hypos. I would pick up a female Hypo, raise her up and go from there.

If Indy is het hypo and you breed her to a spider, you'll get 25% normals, 25% spiders, 25% het hypos, and 25% spider het hypos. No visual hypos. The only way to know which spider offspring are het hypo would be to prove them out with another hypo or het hypo.

^This^

All the offspring would be considered/called 50% Het Hypo since you could not tell apart the one carrying the hypo gene from the one not carrying the hypo gene.

mojave het ghost would be my vote. but any codom het ghost should do the trick

Alright, thanks. And...what are cheaper morphs that combine with hypo?
So if I bred het hypo to spider het hypo there is no way of producing hypo spider right?
What morphs combine? There is such thing as pastel hypo...?
I'm confused.

You will have 12.5% chances to produce a Hypo Spider

Those are your chances per egg.

IF you breed a Spider het. Hypo to your het. Hypo you will have a chance of producing a HoneyBee aka Hypo Spider.
Any morph can be combined with the Hypo gene. It is a simple recessive like Albino and Piebald.
Here is a pic of our POG (Pastel Orange Ghost).

anything het ghost. or start with like a pinstripe and get pinstripe het ghosts

I'm partial towards SPOG projects myself.. hoping to produce a whole stable of SPOG females to use as the foundation of the more complex combinations I produce in the future. So.. a pastel het hypo or a POG would be a great mate for your het hypo female IMO :D
