Double Het?

[Xiorell]

What exactley does this mean?
For example if a Boa is described as "salmon poss double het for sunglow"

How can something be het for the same thing twice over? I don't get it.

Don't really know much about boas but I always assumed a double het animal was het for two different traits.

I can only assume that SUNGLOW is a double het variation of boa, such as a albino pied royal being a double het variant.

its het for both the things that will produce a sunglow, its albino and something else i think. not too sure

[koganinja]

double means it carrys the genes for two morpes

[lukendaniel]

right basically if it was double het for sunglow it is a salmon het for albino and the double het comes from the salmon being co-dominant. so really its trtying to say its het for albino and het for salmon if u get what i mean

if its possible double het for 2 recessive morphs, its an expensive normal!

Very true you'd have to really trust the seller if you bought a 2k normal snake that is double het.

Its a visual co dom morph possible het for albino.

It shouldnt be alot more than a regular salmon price wise to be honest.

well said casey,its obvious a visual salmon which has pos het gene for sun glow which wen bred with an albino boa it cud prove out sun glow
