I dont fully understand how this works

[WVW]

ok so I'm not totally sure of the whole 1.0, 0.1, 0.0.1 thing, in reference to sex I belive of said snake. As far as I can figure it, the first number, before any decimile, is for males. the place second, after the decimile, is for female, but then I've seen another decimile and a third number. My guess is that it means unknown sex, but thats just an educated guess. Am I totally wrong about all this.
so as I can figure i belive it works like this:

A female boa would be 0.1
A male would be 1.0
A male and female pairing would be 1.1
an unknown gender would be 0.0.1
and if you have a lot of one type, or if you are a breeder and have a clutch, you could say you had 5.7 (5 males & 7 females) of that clutch available.

am I way off or what?

	Female Female

	1.1 One Male and One Female

Nope. Looks like you got it just right.

well, i cant think of them all right off the top of my head. one that will prob take a while is the morphs. I understand some of it, like what het means, and anery, leucistic, albino, ect. but one thing i see will be DH. not sure what that is. and are "phases" acuall phases of the snakes growth/coloation development, or is it THE color of the snake. small things like this...
I will post up as I think of others.
Thanks guys,

	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).

To tell you the truth I only have common BP's and a Preu RTB. I'm not big into the hypo's, het's and morphs...X could help here.

DH = Double Heterozygous

A DH sunglow would be a Hypomelanistic boa het for albino and sunglow if bred with a het albino or albino boa. DH sunglows not only produce albinos and sunglows in the same litter, but normals and more hypos DH for sunglow.

And the term Morph is for the color variations and the genes that create those color variations.

I don't like them either...how could I help?
