what are my chances?

yikes....so ide have to breed the babies (once theyve grown up of course) of the snakes i have NOW to make any ghosts?

[qiksilver]

maybe. if you get lucky you'll get ghosts. you have a 2 out of 3 chance that they're hets, but they could both be hets, you can only tell by breeding them.

statistics are never a definite thing, that's why they're percents and not a given

[kavmon]

personally, i would use a 100% het male. try 3 or 4 50/66% poss. het girls. using more girls gives you more rolls on the dice!

Which is why I don't understand buying anything less than 100% het from someone reliable... I guess I'm just not the gambling type

if you have two 66% hets and you breed them together. and by chance they prove out you would have a ghost if they don't prove out the first year keep all the babies and try again. could be a very time involved process. you would be better off buying a 100% het female to breed your male too quicker.

ok, so i need to hold off and find a 100% het female. thanks!

in the meantime, i need to learn more about this percentage stuff!


thanks!!!

[kavmon]

don't breed a 100% het female to a 66% poss. het male!


max your chances go 100% het male to 3,4 poss. het girls. or 100% girls if you can get them.

at least go 100%het male...

i know, you can get 100% het males with some size on them, reasonably priced now.

personally i would not gamble with a females breeding cycle with poss. males, imo. nothing is guaranteed and you don't really know when she'll go again!
