breeding question

[kc261]

no amel x anery for blizzards. how do you make them!

yeah but i didnt want to start a new thread for a stupid question that is probably easy to answer.

Ah. I understand what you were asking now. It really isn't a stupid question; pretty much everyone is confused by genetics until they get the hang of it.

Derek (Dr Del) already gave the basic answer. You can start with an amel and a charcoal, breed them and produce double hets. Grow them up, breed the double hets together, and each egg will have a 1 in 16 chance of being a blizzard.

You also mentioned starting with an albino (amel) het anery (in this case, it would need to be anery B, also called charcoal). If you were able to find a amel het charcoal and a charcoal het amel of the opposite sex, that pair could produce blizzards, and you'd have better odds too, 1 in 4 for each egg. You'd also get about 25% amel het charcoal, 25% charcoal het amel, and 25% normal appearing double hets. You could also use a matched pair of amel het charcoal (or charcoal het amel), which would still give you 25% chance for each egg to be blizzards, but the rest of the clutch would be amels 66% phet charcoal (or charcoals 66% phet amel).

So blizzard can only give Albino or Charcoal.
Can you explain what Blizzard x Albino would be?

Im bad at squares like that... Plus I do them the un smart way
Im pretty sure there would be possible blizzards, and albinos... and albino het charcoal? and maybe normal het albino if thats possible...

I get confuzzled with recessive sometimes and i only do a square with 4 boxes.

Blizzard x Amel (with no hets) will give all amels 100%het charcoal (which could be stated as amel het blizzard). All of the offspring will look like a standard amel.

Edit: amel = albino

There are a lot of calculators out there too. Once you start playing around with them it can help you understand how it works, but it was all pretty well explained above. Here is one for you, but just google "corn snake morph calculator" and you'll find more. Good luck!
