Future Breeding plans

[claire_e_dodd]

So i'm considering my options for breeding when my lot are big enough, currently I have;

Males
Unknown amel based morph - poss butter but more likely creamsicle
Snow het hypo & lavender

Females
Normal
Anery
Butter het motley
Bloodred het anery

So I was thinking;

Amel x Butter (to prove out is genetics)
Snow x normal (to see if het for anery or amel as this is common)
Snow x anery (want anery lavenders & ghosts on 2nd gen)
Snow x bloodred (granites, hypo granites & plasma in 2nd gen)

Then for the 2nd gen;
Male from 1st pairing x Butter (poss for butter motleys)
Snow x 3rd paring offspring (lots of anery based combos)
Snow x 4th pairing offspring (more anerys based combos & small chance of plasma)
3rd pairing offspring x 4th pairing offspring (lots & lots & lots more anery based combos)

So, I love anerys if you can't tell! I don't need to know percentages of possible offspring, I can work that out myself unless I've mentioned a combo that is incorrect please let me know, (I know I haven't mentioned all possibilities just the ones i'm most excited about).

Can anyone think of a more appropriate way to pair?

I know i'm putting alot on my snow but he was bought with breeding in mind, whereas the amel was free to a good home and not really in my plans.

If the Amel IS a creamsicle (no butter offspring in first generation), you won't get any Butter Motley corns in the second generation - they'll all be Buttercream Motley ratsnakes.

And if your goal is Anery Lavender or Lavender Bloodred, you need a visual lavender-based female... otherwise you're going to be keeping back a LOT of project hets, as each offspring from the snow het lavender, hypo is only POSSIBLE het lavender and/or hypo.

Yeah they'd be labelled as rats rather than corns on 2nd gen if no butters come from the 1st gen

Not so bothered if I don't produce the lavenders straight away, I'd rather pick my favourites to hold back and be surprised with what i get, anything with lavender in would just be a bonus, although a female lavender (preferably with some hets for anery, hypo, bloodred or maybe amel in there) would be the only snake i'd consider adding to my collection from an external source right now.

Do you think I've missed any interesting combos?

Anyone else have any pairing suggestions?
