    Re: Genetics guarantees?

    1. retained sperm

    2. parthenogenesis this is rare, but it is more common in reptiles and insects. I know a breeder who had a virgin female normal and the first year was breed to a killerbee (super pastel spider) had a clutch of good eggs. next year was breed to a 3 gene male with super pastel being in the snake. again had good eggs. the third year it was breed to a super pastel champagne got 5 eggs and all 5 were normal females, no pastels at all. this breeder at the time had a small collection, keep very good records. yes a mistake is possible, but knowing him, parthenogenesis makes more sense.
    I was just trying to keep things simple here guys..... no parthenogenesis, no poss hets, no 66%s, no retained sperm, etc... just real clean cut questions about what breeders would do/have done re: handling a genetics guarantee they made. Im also assuming that parthenogenesis is an EXTREMELY rare occurence....
