Question about Het Determination

[Weepngprpht]

Ok I am a little confused as to this matter and hope someone can help. Im still trying to take a full hold of the genetics when it comes to snakes.
Now my question is how does one determine if a snake is Het for a certain morph. The poss het and 66% het I understand however I guess more specifically how does a breeder determine an animal is DH for snow or any morph that the clutch outcome is similiar where its not a simple Albinoxhet albino where you get albino or normal het albino. However with the snow i kno you get (in a clutch of 16) one snow some DH snow some Het anery. But my question is how do you determine the DH's. Forgive me if my workings of the genetics for the clutches in incorrect just tryin to paint a picture of te question i am trying to get answered. Thanx all help is appreciated.

	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.

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

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

anybody?

Are you asking how you can look at a snake and say Yes it's Het or No it's Not? There is no way to tell. That is why there are 66% possible hets... in a litter that is the result of breeding het to het, all the normal babies are 66% possible hets... because you can't tell the difference.

The way you get double hets for snow, BTW, is from breeding an albino to an Anery. All the babies will be Double Het. A better way is to breed an albino that is het for anery to an anery that is het for albino. That way you get a much improved chance at the elusive snow AND all your babies are het for both traits.

	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.

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

OOOHHH ok thanx thats really all i was wondering the 66% and 100% het i have pretty much down. Thanx

Breeding trials are the only way to prove out a het trait if you are uncertain. Otherwise, pairing as described above will give you what Morti was saying.
