Mojave?

I was just wondering what the chances of Mojave x Mojave producing a Leucistic.

one of every four eggs.. since mojave are het leucy.. each parent has a 50% chance of throwing the mojave gene.. so 25% are normal, 50% are mojave, and 25% are leucy.

Thank you i like those odds.

The odds are actually 25% per egg not per clutch, I know it sounds the same but actually it is a little different.

Yes that is what I meant to imply.. genetics can get confusing quickly!

LOL, isn't that the truth

Man my heads spinning, Didn't do too good in science class.

If you assume you have N eggs hatch from a clutch then your percent chance of producing a Lucy is (1-.75^N)*100

1 egg gives 25% chance
2 eggs give 46.8% chance
4 eggs give 68.4% chance
6 eggs give 82.2% chance
8 eggs give 90% chance
an infinite amount of eggs produces a Lucy with 100% chance :)

well i guess thats a better way of putting it.

better and more confusing... lol

sorry :)

If you are trying to make a blue-eyed Lucy, spend the extra few hundred and get a lesser platinum to mate to your Mojave instead. The Super Mojave isn't a true white snake, they usually have some grey around the head/neck. As where the lesser/mojave Lucy will give the pure white snake.

The lesser x Mojave is still not a pure white snake. Lesser x Lesser is a pure white snake. There is a lesser x mojave for sale on KS right now and it does not look pure white to me.

Pretty good. I love the way super mojaves look with the shade of grey on the head, i think they are awesome.

If you really want a white snake I would save a little more cash and pick up a pair of Lesser's. They are rediculously cheap now. If you want to save even more cash you could pick up a female lesser this year and get a male next year when the prices will be even lower.

I have seen nice white lucy's from Mojave x Lesser breedings, but i agree, the Lesser x Lesser gives you a cleaner form. The nice thing about going with a Lesser x Mojave pairing though is you get both Mojaves and Lessers as offspring, in addition to any Lucy's you create. Lessers are sweet, but I still think Mojaves are a gorgeous snake in their own right.

When I went to pick up my Mojave’s the breeder had a BLE, sib to one of the 2 I was picking up. She was one of the more gorgeous things that I have ever seen. It is true that they are not all white, but they have this silvery gray thing going on the makes them seem to shimmer. I was so giddy at even seeing her, he even let me HOLD her….so nice :D Sorry for the rambling, it was just a great experience :carrot:

I like that breakdown style a lot!
Quick question I understand all of the symbols except ^....what function do you perform with that one?

If I remember correctly, it is to the “Nth” power. I don’t know if that is the right term, but you put your N there and it is like squaring, only to the Nth number.

Its just the statistical notation when you are figuring out the cumulative probability of an occurrance, which is what the breakdown shows.

Statistics pretty confusing but very useful when you get it down...

It would be read "Raised to", as in, " four raised to the second power".

That little "carat" it's called ^ means "to the power", which means multiply the number by itself that many times. Example, X^2=X*X. X^4=X*X*X*X.

I hope that helps :)

EDIT: I see I was beaten to the punch, sorry.

All this talk about white snakes...psha! I am going to cross mine with the invisible man and make transparent snakes! :)
