Hi, I'm new! Got addicted to the Genetic Wizard. Have a decent starter group. Ideas?

[GoodnessGracious]

Welcome to the forum!! were glad to have you here! You have an awesome collection started!! But if you want to add some ever more awesome stuff, I'd invest in a fire or super fire and throw in some enchi stuff too you can't go wrong with those! I'm absolutely addicted to the genetic wizard too and can spend HOURS on the site lol. Check out what you can do with the fire and enchi genes! So awesome! Glad to have another genetic wizard addict apart of the forum haha.

Oh I have been looking at the fires and enchis! Great recommendation! The combos some people post on Youtube are just gorgeous!
Looking at phantoms too. Haven't found a phantom/super phantom orange ghost yet?

there are many directions you could go.

you could add more dominants/codominants, i agree fire and enchi would be nice important, i would add pinstripe. 3 awesome genes that are expensive but coming down in price are banana, GHI, and bamboo. maybe orange dream if you like it, maybe leopard, maybe spotnose. maybe some dark stuff like black pastel or cinnamon or het red axanthic. spider and champagne are a matter of taste and personal opinion.

you could go deeper into the hypo project. i think orange ghost is one of the common lines that is compatible with most other ghosts/hypos, so, plenty of choices for visuals with extra genes and hets with high quality extra genes. and even double hets or hypo het something else.

you could get into a second recessive project, maybe one that can be combined into a nice double recessive project with hypo. maybe pied or axanthic or clown. maybe something less common.

you could use the super mojave and the lesser to go into blue-eye lucys, like mystic potions/purple passions when you add mystic or phantom. or high-white mojave lesser BELs as well as more super mojaves. i think then pinstripe would also be important, for jigsaws and kingpins, BEL genes and pinstripe work together nicely.

or you could use the ivory and go deeper into the highway / super stripe / puma gene complex. basically adding specter or spark or something, and more yellowbelly stuff.


lots of choices, plenty of freedom, its quite a flexible collection. a little bit of hypo stuff and many great codominant genes, that can be utilized in a number of ways. the super forms are really nice, you can already do uniform clutches of 100% pastaves or 100% mojave yellowbellys. the only thing you are to a degree already comitted to would be hypo, represented by 3 BPs, but all the other BPs can be utilized in numerous different ways.

the next BP you buy should be a genetically strong male, for more choices. 2.5 is quite optimal, but only if both males turn out to be good breeders.

I will definitely get into clowns. Those killer clowns look unreal! Looks to be a project that will require some patience and a bit of luck. I would have to get two clowns, make a super pastel (or hope for less chance with luck if pastel het clown x pastel het clown?)

What do you recommend as a genetically strong male? Like a pattern, or a different morph?





By the way, thank you both for the kind responses and advice! I'm currently looking for more info on how to do different mappings on supers and hets and getting them to combine. This is very interesting stuff.
