Doubt...

Hello my friends, i have a doubt because:

snow x blizard the genetic calculator says 1/1 Amelanistic het. Anerythristic ~ Charcoal

but...

the result was:

snow het ¿?

I think with some het but can i know which??

Thnaks!!

Well, your blizzard was homo anery, too, if it was a blizzard at all. Did you get _all_ snows??

Yes all are snow Nanci, thanks!

So the babys are sow het?

I don't know if you actually know the blizzard parent was a blizzard het amel, or only a snow. If that snake was for sure a blizzard, then the babies are snows het charcoal. It's more likely that the "blizzard" was a snow. The only way to find out is with a test breeding, unless you actually know the breeder of that animal and can verify the parents.

Thanks Nancy

I agree with Nanci. And if you got all snow hatchlings, and no amel, the chances seem more likely that the blizzard parent is actually snow. If it was blizzard the odds are you should have got at least some just amels (of course there's always the slim chance you beat the odds and got all snows)

Snow x Blizzard het anery = 50% Amel (het anery, charcoal), 50% Snow (het charcoal)

Snow x Snow = 100% Snow

Excellent point, Heather!

Thanks Nancy and Zoologygirl, but i´m sure it blizzard, not like to snow, is all white.

Snows come in a wide range of variations and can be all white. And just an FYI, not all blizzards are all white either. Without some knowledge about the breeding that produced the snake, you're only making guesses that so far, seem to have proved to be inaccurate at best. Photos would be greatly helpful.

You know Katie, ArpeggioAngel- she just test-bred a female called Flamingo who was given to her as a blizzard, and she turned out to be snow only. Here are some pictures of her. (Sure miss Mike, BTW). You can't see any of the yellow highlights at all without a camera flash. She appears solid white.
