Need some help with hets?

Corn snakes rule!
Okay, so bare with me since I'm not an expert by any means with genetics...

I have a female Normal Zoe that I breed to my male Silver Queen Ghost Corn Kasper and this is what they produced.

7 eggs that hatched...

1=Amel
3=Ghosts
2-Anery
1-Hypo

Just wanting to find out what hets they have to come up with these offspring and how do I add this to the parents genetics on www.cornsnakeregistry.com genetics page and also to the babies genetics page when adding them to the registry as well?

I also wanted to ask about last years offspring from my other Normal female Rose and my Silver Queen Ghost male Kasper in which they produced...

5=Amels
4=Anery's
3=Ghosts
3=snows
2=hypo's
2=normals

Thanks for any and all help..
 
Your normals are both het for Amel, Anery and Hypo! :)
Very nice surprise hets IMO. (Oh and your SQ male is also het amel)

Like Tara mentioned.

The 1st pairing.
Female het Amel, Anery, Hypo
Male Hypo/Anery het Amel

2nd pairing would look like this
Female het Amel, Anery. Hypo
Male Hypo/Anery het Amel

That is a very nice Rainbow of hatchlings:)

Edit: I should read better, sorry. Not sure how to add them to the ACR.
 
I decided to go ahead and try the corncalc from IansViviarium page and these are the results I got for the pairings above.

Let me know if this is correct?

Male: Ghost ( Anery, Hypo ) het Amel

Female: Normal het Amel, Anery, Hypo

Phenotype:

6.25% Amel het Anery, Hypo

18.75% Normal het Anery, Hypo 66% poss het. Amel

18.75% Anery het Hypo 66% poss het. Amel

18.75% Hypo het Anery 66% poss het. Amel

6.25% Snow ( Amel, Anery ) het Hypo

6.25% Hypo Amel ( Amel, Hypo ) het Anery

18.75% Ghost ( Anery, Hypo ) 66% poss het. Amel

6.25% Coral Snow ( Amel, Anery, Hypo )


Genotype:

6.25% Normal het Anery, Hypo

6.25% Anery het Hypo

6.25% Hypo het Anery

6.25% Amel het Anery, Hypo

12.5% Normal het Amel, Anery, Hypo

12.5% Anery het Amel, Hypo

12.5% Hypo het Amel, Anery

6.25% Anery, Hypo

6.25% Amel, Anery het Hypo

6.25% Amel, Hypo het Anery

12.5% Anery, Hypo het Amel

6.25% Amel, Anery, Hypo
 
Phenotype is the actual appearance of the snake. Genotype is the actual genetic make-up. For example, your normals have a phenotype of "normal", but their genotype is normal het amel anery hypo.

Baby #4 is a ghost and definitely not a snow.

The snow MAY be a hypo snow but you won't know until you do a breeding trial. As for it being a coral snow, by the photo and the current definition of what makes a coral snow, it is not pink enough to label it a coral snow, IMO.
 
Have one more question...I'm trying to add a phenotype color to my snow on the ACR and I don't know what to put for her and also for her genotype. Can anyone help me with this and also with Mercury who is a hypo...Thanks!
 
okay so I was taking a much closer look at my baby #1 from my newest corn snake hatclings. Originally I thought it was an amel because of it's bright red and orange. However, now I've noticed that it has dark eyes like a normal or hypo does and not orangy or redding eyes like an amel. So now I'm not so sure what it is. Here is a pic of it.

The ACR only has single genes listed. When you have a snake homozygous for multiple genes, you can't use the trade name, but must list each gene individually. Therefore, your snow will be listed as Amelanistic and Anerythristic. Under genotype, you mark the homozygous genes as such, the known het genes as such and under "notes" (or is it "comments", you can list possible hets or masked possible homo genes, all to be proven with breeding trials.

Did pic show up? If so, I know it looks like it has reddish eyes but in person they are dark eyes.

The photo isn't there.
 
Baby 1

Thanks again Susan for yr help. Unfortunately, I am having trouble with the picture uploader at the moment so I am unable to add anothe pic of baby #1 on here. But in the breeding forum under Breeding for 2012 posted by me is picutres of all my babies.
