Does anybody breed their normals to morphs?

Just a silly question as it would seem you would only get hatchlings of that morph or more normals.

Yea but I just want to see if any odd things come out of the normal side :D She has a few odd traits I want to investigate this year!

Do you mean breeding a normal male to morphs or just any pairing with normal and a morph? I bred my spinnerblast male to 2 normal females and got only 1 normal out of 15 eggs. And I plan to do it again.

I have a normal female, and someday in the future, I plan to breed her to a morph male - I'm leaning towards a champagne

Just in general breeding a male or female normal to a morph female/male.

I figured most people are just trying to breed different kinds of morphs to other morphs to see what happens. Has every kind of morph so far been bred to every other morph? or are there still "pairings" out there yet to be done.

There all lost of morph combos that haven't been made yet. There are brand new morphs being discovered every few years.

of course people do it :D

its just, generally, the male should be genetically more powerful than the female because you can breed one male to several females.

It makes no sense to breed a normal male, but when people have males with many genes in them, it does make sense to breed them to a normal female.

And then there are the dinker projects: A normal seems to have something special in it, you breed in order to find out if maybe its something genetic.

It also depends on the normal female since they vary quite a bit in color and pattern. If you have a fairly bright one you would pair her with a pastel, yellow belly, butter, lesser, fire, etc. to (hopefully) make a brighter one. If she has a reduced pattern then pair her with an enchi, spider, etc. again, hoping to make a better quality morph than the sire.

i feel that breeding a normal male to a female morph is a no no unless its a dinker with good potential i breed my female normals to morph males but i like them to have two genes or more so there is less chance for normals

I got egg hatching from a lemonblast het hypo x normal right now. 4 heads out of 7 are poking out.

so yea it happens. :)

Cool stuff! My normal girl would (in the future) only get loving from multi-gene males for this reason ;)

I will next year probably.

Yes, a lot of people have multiple normal females just because they're cheap females that can still carry eggs and pass on dom traits. I'll be breeding my adult normal to my bee when he gets to weight, and the same probably with my smaller normal since she's so clean and clear.

You can breed you males to 3-7 different females a year. Most People will throw 1-3 normal females in the mix. You usually want to breed the males to one of your project females first to better your odds of getting the multi gene/or super morph that you are aiming for, then breed him to the normals. "Rule of thumb" males should always be of equal or higher quality than the female.

Normal Females are great for double or tripple gene males. I have two big normal females that I put my codom males to every year.

Breeding a male morph to a female normal is also handy if you're a cheapskate like me and want a female of that morph :D Breed and pray the odd gods smile upon you!

Yeah I have a female normal (my first snake ever) and I plan on getting a 3 gene male (hopefully a fire jigsaw) to breed to her along with my mojave and butter girls.

Does anyone here know how to walk?

Normal females are an invaluable asset when producing animals for sale or just producing great quality animals. I have two females that make the highest quality enchi's and people love them. I have females that make great spiders and these are all normals. So yes I have 50+/- normal females that make normals for pet's and make great quality morphs just on their own.

Great question for someone like me. So here's a question...the breeder I bought my nfbp from originally thought she might be a calico. I didn't ask anything at the time, but now I wonder, wouldn't there be a reason for her to think this at all..ie..a parent had the gene to begin with?

If one of the parents was a calico or her thought he had a low white WC or CH calico would be the only thing.
