Genetics question

[Ian P]

Hey, I am new to all these ball python genes and was wondering what would be the results of a female pied with a male normal? What percent about would be pied and what percent normal, if that's even how it works. Thank you in advanced.

Nope not how it works....you would hatch all normals het for pied. search the forum and I am sure you will find tons of info on genetics.

Ok, thanks man.

if you breed pied to normal you get all 100% het pieds they will look normal but carry 1 pied gene it takes 2 pied genes to make a pied if you breed a het pied to a pied half should be pieds and half should be 100% het pied but that depends on how the ball python gods favor you lol i bred an albino to a spider het albino and out of 10 eggs half should have been albino but no i got all het albinos not even a spider het albino well hope this year goes better

That should get you started with the genetics http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html, also most people would not waste a normal male on a Female Pied (The breeding female pied is way too be valuable to be paired with a normal)

visit world of ball pythons and check out the gentic wizard .. u will learn a lot thats how figured most of it out .. but u will get all hets pied x reg .. pied x het pied u can pull pieds and hets from that clutch

Are you 100% positive the spider is het albino? If you miss this year I would start to question the genetics of that female.

Here are, IMO the best genetic calculators out there.

For your pairing specifically you would get 100% normals 100% het for Pied

i am sure the male spider is het albino as he came from my friends female albino

Wow, no albinos or spiders out of 10 eggs? That is the worst odds ever. You need to appease the odds gods before trying that pairing again...
