Triple Threats

How are they created?

If I understand right...a "triple threat" is a snake with three dominant morphs going at the same time....which means, when bred to a normal, it can produce babies that have any of those three morphs or a combination of them.


A "pewter-bee" (there may be an "official" name for that combo already, but I'm not sure what it is) would be a cinny, a pastel, and a spider all rolled into one snake. That snake could sire a clutch that would produce cinnies, pastels, spiders, bumble-bees, cinny-bees, "pewter-bees" and normals.

So it is created by mating two morphs together

For instance...


--You breed a cinny to a pastel and make some pewter babies.
--Grow them up to sexual maturity.
--Then breed one of the pewters to a spider.

If the "morph gods" are with you, you'll hatch out a "pewter-bee."

Thanx JLC...that is a long process, but sounds worth it. Found some pics...

oh yea...and what are the chances of the morph gods just sending me a orange hypo for free?

:8: HAHAHAHAHHAaaaaaaaaaa......... Best post of the WEEK! Gold star for Judy! :sunny:

hahahaha!!! Good answer.

JLC I got one more question for you...kinda confused on recessive morphs.

Will leave a picture diagram because my breeding lingo isnt up to par.

If you breed a fully morphed recessive and breed with a co-dom do you get morphs or hets...and then the hets are what produce the new morph...

Hypo + Pastel = Hypo Pastel...through straight breeding right?

and then...
same thing with a dominant...

Hypo + Spider = Coral Bee through straight breeding?

or is it the offspring of these that are bred to produce the new morph?

no,

hypo x pastel = pastel and normals that are 100% het hypo


hypo x spider = spiders and normals that are 100% het hypo

coral bee is a seperate morph.

you then have to breed the pastel/spider 100% het for hypo back to a hypo or 100% het hypo to make

hypo pastels
hypo bees

basically co-dom morphs can reproduce the visible morph when bred to normals. recessive morphs, each snake has to have the morph gene either visual or 100% het to make the visible morph.



vaughn

Hypo + Pastel = Hypo Pastel...

Nope. Pastels Het for Hypo ONLY (and normals het for Hypo)


Hypo + Spider = Coral Bee

Two things wrong with this... Coral be is not Hypo Spider. A HONEY BEE is a Hypo Spider.

And the combo you have would create Spiders Het for Hypo and Normals Het for Hypo

Edit: Well... Guess I typed a little to slow. :D Oh well

Sorry about the coral bee honey bee thing...i got confused myself...so....

the fastest way to acheive this is breed one of the male offspring back to its mother which can be done the next breeding season right?

*Why don't they teach this in school...I have learned more and been more interested in genetics on a forum then I have in my entire life at school*

"the fastest way to acheive this is breed one of the male offspring back to its mother which can be done the next breeding season right?"


If you are lucky, that could happen. There are NO guarantees with breeding
however... Especially with males. :mad: (Personal issues....)

Males can be very finiky when it comes to breeding when too young, but that is true of either sex..

So, yes, it can happen, but don't hold your breath or count your eggs before they've been laid.

:D
