Question on a breeding results. . .

[amg20102006]

Hi I was wondering if I breed a female het orange hypo to a male pastel het orange hypo what would the results be? Also what is a hypo pastel called like is there a certain morph name? Thank you.

By breeding a Pastel het hypo to a het hypo.....you could produce Hypo pastels, Hypos, Pastels 66% het hypos and 66% het hypos. All normal babies would be 66% het hypo and you have a 50% chance of each being a pastel.

....and hypo pastels are called hypo pastels or pastel ghosts......never heard of anything different.

Sorry if i didnt explain good enough but I was saying What would the results be if I breed a female het hypo to a male pastel het hypo (the pastel will carry the hypo gene hence the word het) Sorry if it seems if i am being mean but no harm is intended

Ok thanx. Also when will you have plans for the rack you built because I am going to make antoher one in a couple months. Also are you going to make an incubator out of scratch or by plans?

Ok-

100% het hypo x Pastel 100% het hypo

1/2 Pastels, 1/2 normal

1 in 4 chance for hypo, the rest would be 66% poss hets

1 in 8 chance for pastel hypo.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, still new to dominant x recessive combos...

I am working on three research papers for school right now : so it will probably be mid-Feburary before I can finish that up...

There are all kinda decisions that I need to make about the incubator....I wont need it for another year so I have been kinda putting it off so that I can get other stuff done...

Okay that sound sfine. I wont need the plans until around the end of feb. middle of march anyways. Thanx

When you overlay the het ghost X het ghost results with the 50% chance pastel the breakdown of the odds for each egg ends up like this:

1/8 ghost pastel
1/8 ghost
1/4 pastel het ghost
1/4 het ghost
1/8 pastel
1/8 normal

Of course as elevatethis pointed out the non-ghosts are 66% chance het ghosts since you can't tell which are which however it's nice to know you only have the 1/8 chance of any given egg being a complete normal.
