another breeding with another pair

:D Hopefully had another pair mate. I say hopefully because I went out mountain biking and came back to find them both smoking little cigarettes. Actually they both had that sleepy post coital look in their eyes and there was a big squirt of snake spooge on the bottom of the sterilite container. This time, my 5 year old amel proven stud to his 2 year old sister. They should both be het for anery. Would that produce a snow? Thanks
 
Parents

Father was a normal, mother an amel. Both offspring are amel just 3 years apart. I bred the male last year to an amel and a normal from other stock and the amel x amel produced all amels and the amel x normal produced 1 anery, 2 normal, and 4 amel. So I guess he is het anery.
 
Ok,

The male is the result of Normal X Amel. He has since proven to be het for anery.

No Anerys appeared from those (his) parents (right?) so only one of them is het for anery. This is where the male Amel got its Anery gene.

This means that one parent is het Anery, the other is not. All of the offspring from that pairing (until proven) are "50% possible het for Anery." (Makes sense?)

Note: if any anerys have come from that pair, then both parents are het, and this would make the others 66% possible instead of 50%.

Then you said you bred this same male Amel:

and the amel x normal produced 1 anery, 2 normal, and 4 amel.

This (again) proves the amel het for anery, and it also proves the normal is het for both amel and anery. Meaning you could also get snows from that pairing. :) 1 in 8 odds per egg

---

The sister is 50% possible het for Anery. So you may or may not get snows. Good luck. :)

Actually, the parents of my amel did produce an anery this last season and the 4H camp gave it and a snow from the same parents to me last fall. So that normal x amel has produced normals, amels, anery, and snow.
 
I'm sorry

I need to thank you for your time and explanations. That means I should try to breed him back to that normal again and go for more anery's and possible snows.
 
Sounds like that female Amel is then "66% possible het" so you should find out when you breed her to the male.

Good luck with all of your pairings, and let us know how they turn out. :)
