Genetic/ Het questions

[Green_Snake]

Hi. I'm going to breed my Motley male with, lets say a Lavender het butter

What would the babies look like? How many, if any would be hets? How can I tell if my male is Het?


Thanks

Here's a free program which will help with your question.

I guess I'm curious why you feel the need to register under two names and post under both of them? susang

Another question a motley what corn. What morph is it?

When I first registered, I did not find the activation email, so I registered again with my other email account, which I was able to activate. Then, I found the email for my first account, so now I have two.


My corn is a Sunglow Motley (some people say he is, some say he's not, so I decided motley was safest. He looks like an amel motley, except he's not an albino)

If he has red / pink eyes, then he is an amel. Amel (short for amelanistic) is really the proper term for what some people call albinos or red albinos.

All sunglow motleys are amel motleys - they just have a certain look to them that is more intense than a typical amel motley.

If he's not albino/Amelanistic (doesn't have pink eyes) then he isn't a Sunglow Motley - by definition a Sunglow is an amelanistic animal with no dorsal white.

He's a LOVELY motley, though - you can see some melanin in the pattern, as he's not the same bright clear orangey-red as an amel; he's got that deeper, richer almost blood red instead.

If you bred your Motley to a Lavender het Butter, you'd get:

Normals het Motley and Lavender, 50% possible het Amel and/or Caramel.

I'd rather you didn't use two accounts. Please PM me and let me know which account you'd like me to suspend. If I don't hear from you in a few days, I'll pick one myself. Thanks.
