what can i breed with this?

[redrott]

I am thinking of getting an amel het for butter stripe and a pink and green male snow. What would you recommend breeding to these if there is anything to get something different than what the parents are or something interesting.

The amel het for butter stripe is carrying the amel, caramel, and stripe genes. Butter is the name for the combination of amel and caramel.

It is capable of producing amels, caramels, stripes, striped amels, striped caramels, butters, and striped butters. (If its mate has all three genes in it, too.)

The largest variety you could get from it would be to cross it to a caramel stripe het amel (may be labeled as "caramel stripe het butter" too.) But basically anything that is "het for butter stripe" would be good.

The pink and green snow would probably be best with another of the same, this would allow you to select for the extremes in the babies and try to improve the line, instead of just producing "generic" snows.

Don't forget the disclaimer here. If both partners are red eyed, they won't get the dark eyed potential progeny.

For the first one...

I think an awesome pairing would be with an amber stripe het amel if you can get your hands on one. You'd have awesome variety. I'm not at my own computer so I can't do the math on the predictor but perhaps someone else can figure out the stats for amel het caramel het stripe x amber stripe het amel. hen you'd get all the babies being het for hypo too. Cheers, A

what can i breed with this

What about a caramel striped motley that had a butter stripe for a parent with the amel het butter stripe. what would that give me.

Male is, Amelanistic, Het for Caramel, Het for Stripe
Female is, Amber, Striped, Het for Amel

Offspring are predicted to be...
12.50%, Butter, Striped, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Caramel, Striped, Het for Amel, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Amelanistic, Striped, Het for Amber
12.50%, Striped, Het for Butter, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Butter, Het for Hypomel, Het for Stripe
12.50%, Caramel, Het for Amel, Het for t for Stripe
12.50%, Het for Butter, Het for Hypomel, Het for Stripe

i think i did it right

The "caramel striped motley that had a butter stripe for a parent" is definite het amel. So...

Caramel Striped Motley (we'll assume it's a motley stripe, genetically) het amel X Amel het butter stripe would be:

A⁺·A^a, Ca^c·Ca^c, M^m·M^s
X
A^a·A^a, Ca⁺·Ca^c, M⁺·M^s

Out of 16 offspring, the statistical prediction is:

1 Butter Motley/Stripe
1 Butter Stripe
2 Butters

1 Amel Motley/Stripe
1 Amel Stripe
2 Amels

1 Caramel Motley/Stripe
1 CaramelStripe
2 Caramel

1 Normal Motley/Stripe
1 Normal Stripe
2 Normal

- Everything in such a clutch that isn't a butter stripe will be het for butter stripe. (To simplify things.)

- Actual real-life results will vary, just like flipping coins.

- "Motley Stripe" only indicates a genotype, these can look like completely normal motleys, or be much more "stripey" in appearance, or anywhere in between.
