Axanthic Super Pastel Spider (Axanthic killer bee)!

[Andrew24]

soo when you breed a pastel het axanthic to a bumble bee het axanthic if they bother were 100% het for axanthic.. what could you hatch out?

i belive it would be
pastels
bumble bees
super pastels
killer bees..

and then everything abouve that are 100% het for axanthic..

and then axanthic
pastels
bumble bees
super pastels
killer bees

none of the animals would be 100% het.... There would be possible hets and visuals. you would also get normals that were possible het.

Correct.

Tons of possibilities, and everything will be visual axanthic or possible het axantic and need to be proved out to see if they carry the axanthic gene.

The likelihood of hatching out normals is pretty darn miniscule too

ooooh you can't get a 100% het when both parents are 100% het?? well how would you get a 100% het then???

visuals? what do you mean by that?? well it will look like a axanthic .. but does it also have the gene for it?? sorry im new to the axanthic .. and het stuff lol..

Hi,

To get a 100% het you breed the visual morph ( which is homozygous ) to anything else except another homozygous example of the same morph.

If you breed two 100% hets then 25% of the offspring should be the visual homozygous ( ie an albino or an axanthic ) and 50% will be het for the trait and the remaining 25% won't have any of the genes for that morph at all.

But the hets and the normal will all look just like normal ball pythons and you won't be able to tell which is which so we say that all of those are 66% het because two thirds of them will be het and one third won't.

Only the snakes that get two copies of the axanthic gene will be visually axanthic ( homozygous in other words ) and all the rest will look normal.

so you need to breed an homozgous( one with the looks) and a 100% het together to get axanthic???

NEVER MIND!!! i got it lol.. sorry i read it wrong!

[Andrew24]

oook wait im confused again...
i got this from the nerd web page...

Recessive - a gene that affects an animal's appearance if it's present in the homozygous state. A heterozygous animal carrying a mutated, recessive gene looks normal.


does this mean that the ones that are homozygous (the ones that look like the morph) do not have the gene to pass on the morph?????

idk im hearing dif things from diff places... and it just confuses me more!!! sorry for being slow on getting this lol..

but thanks for you help!!!

Albino x Normal= 100% hets
100% het x 100% het= 66% het albino, visual albino
100% het x 50% het= 50% het albino,visual albino
100% het x normal= 50% het
Albino x albino= Albinos

hope this helps

[coldbloodaddict]

100% het x 50% het= 50% het albino,visual albino

hope this helps

That makes no sense...
