if you bred a virgin normal female to a few different recessive males (clown, albino, ghost ect..) and had eggs. most likely they are 100% hets. but het for what is what you will then need to find out. parthenogenesis happens, semi regularly, I'm not sure about that, but if it is, I would like to see the studies on parthenogenesis in snakes. from what I read, it's more common in reptiles but still a rare occurance and the hatchlings would all be females. so the only way that for sure you have 100% hets is if the female is the recessive that you're trying to breed for. example if you're trying to get pastel clowns, if the mother is the clown and father super pastel then they all would be pastel 100% het clowns.Originally Posted by GPreptiles
Does the same thing apply to male recesive breeding with a normal femle (example) that last season bred with different male - and can you tell that all normals from this clutch are 100% hets? Or you should not since you don't know if that's not retained sperm from last years male?
This is pretty interesting topic I guess.
