I was so intrigued by this post. I read BP.net from my phone when I go to sleep and when I get up in the morning. I read each post in a new tab. I couldn't close this tab, I slept on it, or spend the day thinking about it and slept on it last night (not sure which). But this morning I knew what was bugging me. The pairings.
I have to say I'm amazed you have next year planned out. My only thought about next year has been my favorite snake (mother of Logan) who is already building for next season, flying out of the cage to eat, and eating extra times a week. Also, not to forget, I appreciated your response to my introduction thread.
So part of why I took so long to respond to this post was because I did not want to appear rude or know-it-all. I didn't want to come off like, "Gee, those are terrible pairings...". I don't think that at all - I also think you have some great snakes there. But one little part did niggle in my brain for days and it affects three pairings.
I can see the long term game plan with pairing #3 (from the short list). But if you took the male from pairing #1 to the female from pairing #3 you have the possibility of several Worlds Firsts.Originally Posted by Marissa@MKmorphs

And more...
So I got up about an hour ago, cranked up my genetic calculator (I wrote myself), added your genes and did that pair. Below is a cut-and-paste of the results:
Code:Sire: Morph: Cinnamon Hypo Pastel Genes:Dam: Morph: Hypo Mojave Pinstripe Genes:
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe
Percent Phenotype Genes 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Mojave Pastel Pinstripe

Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Pastel Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Mojave Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Hypo Mojave Pastel Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Pastel
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Mojave
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Hypo Mojave Pastel
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel 1/16 Hypo Pastel Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Hypo Mojave Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Cinnamon Hypo
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Cinnamon | Normal Co-dominant 8Ball Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo 1/16 Hypo Pastel
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pastel | Normal Co-dominant Pastel 1/16 Hypo Mojave
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Mojave | Normal Co-dominant BEL Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo 1/16 Hypo Pinstripe
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo Pinstripe | Normal Dominant Pinstripe 1/16 Hypo
Allele 1 | Allele 2 Type Complex Hypo | Hypo Recessive Hypo So I would change those pairings to be something like:
--hypo pastel cinnamon x hypo pinstripe Mojave
--pastel super vanilla x hypo Mojave
And maybe give the hypo girl the year off or do the pair --mojave het hypo x hypo
Now in no way do I want to be a butt-in-ski and I presume you posted the pairing to generate conversation and I'd hate to see you miss a chance a several Worlds Firsts. Just my 2 cents.
