Pied options, breeding tips.

[Oxylepy]

BP genetics are likely a lot simpler than human ones. Inbreeding humans causes issues due to the frequency of us being heterozygous for recessive diseases, ultimately a homozygous is formed and we end up with whichever disease is coded for. BPs dont seem to have this issue. From what I have heard people have line bred for 13 generations, without ill effect.

But, again, I wouldnt suggest this. It's always good to put in new genetic lines.

Thank you that answers my question fully. appreciate it.

If you wanna take a stab at my origional question for this thread go for it!

Pretty sure I already suggested that you breed the pieds, trade/sell them for more morphs, and go from there. Pieds are recessive and desirable, so even in a couple years they arent going to drop too far in price.

nice nice.

If I was to get lets saying another recessive 100% het for pied.

Like a pastel 100% het for pied or maybe something else..

What would the odds of me producing a double homozygous animal like a pastel pied if I bred it to one of my pieds?

pastel 100% het for pieds seem "fairly" cheap and if you hit the odds would definitely pay for itself.

What do albinos 100% het for pied run?

Thank again to everyone who has participated in this thread, I really enjoy all the advice and opinions. I just want to soak in all knowledge possible before my snakes actually get big enough to where I can breed them

Pastel isnt recessive, it's Co-Dom. Thus if they inherit Pastel (50% of offspring will) then they show it. On top of that since 100% of your offspring will be getting 1 Pied Gene (from your Pied snake) and 50% will get the other Pied Gene (from the Het) so you have .5x.5 (from het pied and Pastel, ignore the 1.0 since it does nothing to the stats) = .25 Meaning 25% will be Pied Pastels. Not bad.

The cost of an Albino 100% het pied will be a lot...

so I will be guaranteed a pastel pied out of that then?

They only things coming from that clutch would be pastels 100% het for pied and pastel pieds?

The percentages are percent likelihood, sorry. It means you have a 25% of any individual snake being a Pastel Pied (so if you have 8 eggs you have a .75^8 chance of no Pastel Pieds and a .25^8 chance of getting all Pastel Pieds (the math behind getting a certain number is trickier and I havent worked with it in a long time, so yeah.... Probability (nPr and nCr) is not my strong suit))).

Anyway, The offspring could be (using single genes in the format):

Het Pied Het Pied Pastel
Het Pied Het Pied Normal
Het Pied Normal Pastel
Het Pied Normal Normal

(This is how I do this all in my mind)

So that comes down to Pastel Pied, Pied, Pastel Het Pied, Het Pied. Comes out as 100% Het Pied 50% Het Pied 50% Pastel, thus .5x.5 (in this case this is the multiplication for all of them, this doesnt always happen) = .25

So you have the following probabilities of resulting snakes:

25% Pied Pastel
25% Pied
25% Pastel Het Pied
25% Het Pied

Again that last set is probability of the genotypic results. Phenotypic results are 25% Pastel Pied, 25% Pied, 25% Pastel, 25% Normal (what they look like, not the genes that are represented).

So, again, the bolded text are the % likelihoods of any snake having some genotype.
Sorry, I do things in a confusing way... This is why I usually dont show my work in math...

25% Pied Pastel
25% Pied
25% Pastel Het Pied
25% Het Pied

this is all u need for pastel het pied to pied. those are ur results

wow thank you so much for taking the time to figure that out for me.

Very interesting, if by the time I breed I am able to pickup a pastel het pied it seems like it would definitely be worth it.

so since pastel is a codom if you breed a pastel pied to a pastel pied would you get a super pastel pied?

Also ive seen some pastel pieds that I thought looked noticeably different then my pied, but then others that just looked like a regular pied. Are you basically just looking for pastel blushing on the pattern?

Thanks again! and im sorry for the 20 questions

[ru8fru]

this is all u need for pastel het pied to pied. those are ur results

I think I like those results haha
