Morph Question

What would breeding an anery het snow, to a hypo het albino produce? Just a little curious.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

	Hypomelanistic Hypomelanistic - a genetic reduction in the dark pigment Melanin.

	Anerythristic A recessive genetic mutation in which the animal is void of red pigment.

Umm, I think it depends on whether or not they're acutal hets, or one of those percentage ones, but either way, I think you'll end up with a a nice snake.

i think the babies would be 50%het albino and 50%het snow

All boas would be 100% het anerythristic, and 50% of those would be Hypos (aka Dh Ghosts). And then all the boas would have a 50% chance of being Het for Albino too (aka Possible DH snows).

Yup!! thats cool!
The I read that all you need is a little bit of the gene in the two snakes for the albino gene to be apparent.

The gene is either there or it isn't, there is no "little bit" about it. The percentages are not how much of a gene is there, it is the chance that it is there at all. So with 50% poss hets, statistically, half of them should have the gene and half won't.
