Is this a calico?

[onthefritz]

hey the Calico is not an recessive gene but it is an dominant gene, wich means there is not such a thing as a het. calico.

when you breed an calico to a normal you should get some calico's.

many people say things as " then 50% should be calico and 50% normal" though this isnt true. when you breed an calico to a normal you have 50% chance per egg to have an calico in it.

if you have 4 eggs statisticly you should have 2 normals and 2 calico's but it is very well possible you get 3 calico's or maybe just 1.

as for your question what to pait it with, i myself like pastel calico's and caliders (spider calico) alot but that is just me.

check WoB ( http://www.worldofballpythons.com/ ) to see all the different calico combo's.

hope this helped

does the amount of white a calico has determine the amount of white it will produce? If my guy is a medium white calico, is he more likely to produce more medium/low white babies or could he produce a higher white baby just as easily?
