They are supposedly all breeding pairs/groups or something like that and I wanted to find out how hard it was to get them breeding and maybe paying me back for what he left me out of. They are all in a bin set up with belly heat, but I'm not sure how to check the humidity.
I've been researching ALOT and would like some info.
this is what I have, sexes were checked at Ben Seigel's, awesome people there.
male/female VPI Axanthics - 1120g/1430g
male pinstripe 680g
a pair of Albinos 840g/1350g
female 100% Het Albino 1280g
male Blonde Pastel 610g
female Normal 1540g
I found out how often to feed, how warm to keep them and all that,
but I was wondering who should be bred with whom?
the genetics thing has my head spinning and I'm a bit confused as to what I should be doing about getting them breeding.
I would definitely breed the VPI Axanthics to each other. Offspring would either come out as Axanthic or 100% hets/ You could breed the Albino male to both the Het and Albino female, but I would breed him to the Het only (get possible Albinos or at least Pos 66% hets, correct me if I'm wrong) and then breed the male Pin to the Female Albino and hopefully get some Pin's het for Albino that could be bred back to your Albino's down the line to get some albino Pins. You could also breed any of the males to the normal, the blonde pastel x normal, pin x normal would give you a 50% chance for a pastel or pin per egg. Breeding the Albino or Axanthic to your normal female would give each offspring a 50% posibililty of being het. The first thing you'll need to do is get your females up to around 1500 grams though. And furthermore, it is going to take time to get back any money your owed.
