New breeder question

Is a Champagne yellowbelly het hypo poss GHI with a pastel yellowbelly jigsaw good combination? Or just 2 cool snakes? I thought the more genetics the better when breeding.

This website should help you see what you can get with your pairings

If you are a new breeder and do not have a lot of experience picking out the various genes in combos, I would suggest breeding a single gene animal to either of those. More genes is not always better especially when you are throwing in a gene like Champagne that really dominates and takes pattern out of the equation. Also if you are thinking about breeding a het know that unless you breed a visual Hypo to that animal, you can't sell any of the non Hypo offspring as 100% het Hypo. At most you would be able to call them possible 66% hets. My advice is to start small until you have more experience being able to pick out the genes in animals.

You need to do hundreds of hours of research in order to know what morph is what and what morph bred to what morph makes what.
At least I did anyway. Literally hundreds of hours.
Or you could just pick a morph combo you like and study what the best way to pair for that morph is.

Very true, out of the 10 years I have been keeping bps, I didn't even start breeding until 3 years ago. During the 7 years prior I studied the morphs I was interested in, and taught myself how the genes worked together and learned how to ID them. Do as much research as possible, it will truly make a difference, its very important.

I heard mimosa is Ghost with champagne. But in genetics wizard it dont come up why? How do i make a mimosa with my champagne yellowbelly het hypo poss GHI?

Ive looked on there. Mimosa is the one im going for now. Im focusing on that morph. Thanks for information

Im looking at the mimosa morph. I want to breed my champagne and possibly get some mimosas. With what i got i need to learn alot ive got so many genes!!!

Im gonna focus on mimosa if i can. But imma still breed what i got in a few years.

You need to select each gene in the calculator if you use WOB

If you use this https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptil...ic-calculator/ you can simply enter Mimosa.

All you need is pair your champagne yellowbelly het hypo poss GHI to a het hypo or for better odds a hypo.

That's a good start to focus on what you want. I would get a visual Hypo to increase your chances of hitting the Mimosa. But try to avoid getting a multi gene Hypo as that will certainly muddy the water and make it tough to tell what all genes are in the offspring. Go on Morphmarket and look at all of the Champagne Hypo (Mimosa) combinations to help you better recognize the sometimes subtle differences that the other genes can throw in that combo.

Does a hypo look similar to a normal? I was looking up hypo but they looked normal. And then i was also told or saw that hypo is ghost right?

Ghost is Hypo yes. Hypo is short for Hypomelanistic.

You will need a ghost to pair for good odds. I would not get another het ghost. I only breed hets to visuals, because the odds are way better. Breeding hets to hets is a long shot.

Bingo... already looking that route outta guessing and genetics wizard and looking at options better with a visual ghost i agree.
