black pastel X with normal...what are the possiblities?

[sarah_bell1990]

im getting a male black pastel to breed to my normal female, and was wondering what possible morphs i could get? and also, if there can be a size difference in the male and female when i breed...im a first timer

On each egg you'll have a 50/50 chance of it being a normal or Black Pastel.

You'll want the female to be at least 1300g, though most people wait til 1500g. The males can breed at around 800g.

is it true that people inbreed the babies to get more morphs?

True.

[lesserlover]

You can breed the male at 500 grams.

[sarah_bell1990]

so if i bred the black pastels to the black pastels... would i only get black pastels?

[Elise.m]

You'd have a chance at hatching out a super black pastel. Which is a black snake with a white belly, I think.

[lesserlover]

That is correct.

Think a bp x bp = 25% super black pastel..50% bpastel & 25% normals
sbp xormal = 100% bp
sbp x bp - 50% supers, 50% bp
