1.1 het clown

I have a guy selling 1.1 het clowns that are about 2.5-3 years old, they come with paperwork. My question is what are the % odds per clutch if I were to breed them together?

Thanks for your help, I was never great with math

statistically:
25% would be visual(homozygous) clowns

75% of them would be normal looking "66% poss. hets"

How can you tell the diff between the 75% normal and the 66% hets?

they all look normal and it possible that each is 66% het for clown .. there still a chancce one 100% normal they odds are harder to prove.

So all that are not a visual clown should be sold off as poss hets?

And why would they be 66% het and not 100% het?

you can't tell the difference between the normals and the ones het for clown. the only way to find out is by breeding them. are they 100% het clown?

Not sure if 66 or 100 didn't look at the paperwork yet, still deciding if I should buy them

How do you determine 66% het & 100% het?

you cant unless you produced them yourself

If someone states they are hets and does not offer a percentage it is assumed they are indeed hets, and the only sure hets are 100%.

Ask the questions though and find out.

If animals are 66% het. for a recessive trait it means that 66% of the animals are het. and not that each animal is 66% het. If you breed two 100% het. Clowns together you will get: (in theory)

1/4 Clowns
1/2 100% het. Clowns
1/4 normals

So of all the normal looking animals (3/4 or 75%) 2/3 or 66% is 100% het. Clown (in theory). Only problem is that there´s no visual difference between the hets. and the normals so the animals will be sold as 66% possible het.

Hopefully this clears things up.

Thanks Bas, thats clears things up, they do come with paperwork, and they are inexpensive, the guy is getting away from balls and getting into geckos.

here the difference

if you breed Het clown to Het clown
the normals would be 66% Het
(and if they produced a clown then parents are guaranteed 100% Het)


if you were to breed a Clown to a Het Clown or a Normal
the babies would be 100% het for clown


the reason being for the % difference is your breeding the actuall morph genetics into the babies
instead of possibly preeding the gentics into the babies

so

Morph to Het or Normal = 100% het babies
HET to HET = 66% Hets

Het to Normal = 50% possible Het

Each egg would have a 25% chance of being a clown.

Good luck on your clowns :gj:

Thanks Shawn.

Sometimes I feel like the kid who rides the short bus when it comes to this stuff.
