100% sure?

if i breed a spider to a pastel, is it 100% sure ide get bumblebees? and if so do all of the eggs become bumbles?

no , no breeding is 100% sure. when dealing with living animals, there is always a chance for difference. good or bad.



spider x pastel = each egg has a chance to be a pastel,spider,bumblebee, or a normal.

but there is a good chance of gettign a bumble :) so it would be the same if i bred a bumble with a normal right? i think im getting the hang of all this genetic info hehe :D :D so what are the chances of getting a super pastel if i breed a pastel with a pastel?

Pastel x Pastel 25% chance of getting a super did you check the Marcus jayne web site? It's all there for you , but hay we'll answer your ??? it's just an awesome site and genetic's example.

spider x pastel = yes! each egg has a 25% of being a bee!


your female has to be ready to breed,grow follicles,accept sperm(male has to breed),female ovulates,shells eggs,lays good eggs,eggs have to stay good through incubation, babies have to hatch and be healthy!!!

You would get more helpful responses if you demonstrated that you have done some of your own independent research on all this information you would like us to spoon feed you. Have you looked at this site yet to better help you understand genetics?

Markus Jayne

He even tells you what some of the recessive, co-dom and dom morphs are and then you can see what your odds are! It's really cool! :sweeet:

ive checked it out a bajilion times because it really interests me and i do get it thanks for the url paste the site is very helpful but i guess some of it is memorizing what het means etc.

the one thing im still confused on is it says 25 % this 25% that but doesnt a female lay a good 6-13 eggs? so doesnt that mean its sorta like double 25 % without being 50% like i dont know how to explain it but maybe you see what im gettign at? :confused:

Each EGG has a 25% chance of being het in your example. And conversely a 75% chance of being a normal.

so to say hypothetically, 1 out of the four eggs could be X and 3 of the four would be Y?

that means in a perfect world if it layed 4 eggs each has an 25% chance of being that morph or a 75% chance of not being it and being something else. So lets say your snake lays 8 eggs, each morph still has a 25% chance of beeing "seen" in one of the offspring. no matter what it is still 25% of the total. whether there are 4, 8, 9, 11, of those eggs layed there is a 25% chance any of those babies will turn out with a particular morph... I just want someone to double check me on that, i don't want to tell anyone any invalid info!! Though i am 99% sure its right

~mike

oh ok i get it finally! thanks a bunch! :D so to sum that up, theres a good chance of seeing the morph you want in those 8 eggs (if lady luck is on your side which she always is) :D

if the gene is in the parents there is always a chance of seeing it in the babies, with dom and co-dom

ok thanks everybody! i get it out now...thanks again for taking the time to explain it to a slow one ;)

the 25% chance comes from the spider x pastel pairing


in that pairing, you have four possible outcomes
pastel, spider, bumblebee, normal. 100% / 4 = 25%

# of eggs is like , the number of rolls on dice or number of lotto tickets! gives you more chances to hit the 25% odds.

maybe this will help a bit:confuzd:
