explain pastel ivory cross please

[djansen]

Ok a bit confused on what you would get with a pastel ivory.

I will use a cinny for example.

what would you get if you bread PIvory to a cinny?
would it take more to a pastel and get a pewter or maybe some yellowbellies and an ivory pewter?

An ivory is a homozyous Yellowbelly.

(two genes for yellowbelly)... so all an Ivory can give is the gene for a yellow belly.

Breed to a normal... all yellowbellies...

Breed to a cinnie... 1/2 yellowbellies, 1/2 cinnamon yellowbellies.

Breed to a pastal... 1/2 yellowbellies, 1/2 pastel yellowbellies.

Pastel ivory to cinnie...

... I loathe punnet squares, but I think it is...

1 Cinnamon Pastel YB (pewter yellowbelly)
1 Cinnamon YB
1 Pastel YB
1 YB

The pastel ivory can give YB and Pastel YB, while the Cinnamon can give cinnamon or normal.

thanks!
thats a great clutch.

It is a great clutch... if you get one, feel free to send the eggs my way. I will even pay for shipping.

But that is one of the reasons I want an Ivory or Ivory cross one day. That way you know every egg is a YB, no having to guess, or look for markers, etc.

Glad that helped.

Or you looking to cross those snakes, or just trying to get a grip on the genetics and potentials early?
