    There is no such thing as a het normal! A Pastel to a normal would get you 50% pastels and 50% normals. If the normal was a 100% het of any recessive morph then all babies you be 50% hets but if you have a 50% het, you can't say the babies might be het because you don't even know if the 50% het parent carries the gene or not. I hope this answers your question!

    In that case I believe it is 50% normals and 50% pastels all...and correct me if I'm wrong someone cause I'm bad at math...33% het hypo...which doesnt mean they have 33% of the hypo gene, it means that statistically 33% of the hatchlings would carry the hypo gene.

    Pastels and Normals from that pairing... If it was het to het, then you might get something else, but in this case, just pastels & normals.

    Normally it does but in this case it doesn't help at all.
    There is no 50% het to choose so there is no answer from the wizard

    The 50% het hypo does not factor into the equation because it may not be a het at all! You need to breed the 50% het hypo to a 100% het hypo or a hypo to prove it out as a het! Since you don't know if the 50% het hypo has the hypo gene, all you can say is that the babies are pastels and normals.
