Double Hets - Odds

[BPHERP]

I am looking into getting some Double Hets.

My question, of course, has to do with odds.

If I were to attempt to produce, say, hypothetically, Snows...

What would the odds be if I bred:

• Axanthic Het for albino x Albino Het for Axanthic

.vs

• Double Het for Snow x Double Het for Snow

Any light that someone can shed is most appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry, I'm too lazy to work out the odds right now, but it's [obviously] better odds to use the visuals, Axanthic het albi x Albino het ax. Sorry lol. My minds nearly on shutdown for the night

dblhet * dblhet would be 1/16

im not sure of visual + het * het + visual...1/8 maybe? all normal appearing offspring would be dbl het for snow though

I think the odds of the visual/het x visual/het are actually 1/4. Odds for each component alone is 1/2 (i.e. visual axanthinc x het axanthic = 50% axanthic and 50% het axanthic) And 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

He wanted to know what Axanthic het Albino x Albino het Axanthic odds would be, not Axanthic het Albino x Double het Snow.

I don't know how to use geneticswizard =[

I think it would be
25% double het
25% Axanthic het Albino
25% Albino het Axanthic
25% Snow

Right? Since visual x het = 50% visual, 50% het, and you'd overlap the two for the separate recessive genes, bringing it to 1/4 possibility for each outcome?

Another option, which in my opinion is much better, would be to buy and breed an albino het snow to an axanthic het snow. This would be a more expensive project to get into, but the odds are much better. All hatchlings would be either visuals or hets, no possibles here. Here are the odds:

Axanthic het albino X Albino het axanthic

25% Double het snow
25% Albino het. Axanthic
25% Axanthic het. Albino
25% Snow

Oh, sorry about that. I mis-read the post. It is still pretty early. lol. I posted those results above.

Geneticswizard.com is very easy to use. You just have to know how many genetic traits you are working with. You then type them into the correct boxes and select the radio buttons that correspond to the animal’s genetics. The options are: homo, het, or wild type for that trait.

Hope this helps.

Could have sworn I said all this in my post... just, less detailed LOL
