Please don't rely on me, but this is what I think...

blizzard male X giant hypo female
Normal het Blizzard, Normal Giant het Blizzard, Hypo het Blizzard, Hypo Giant het Blizzard.

blizzard male X super mack snow female
Mack Snow het Blizzard

giant hypo female X giant hypo carrot head
Giant Hypo, Super Giant Hypo (I think the carrot head is a selectivley bred trait, so all the babies could show it to some degree)

mack snow male X super mack snow female
Super Mack Snows (maybe some normal macks? my mind has gone blank on that one!)

Ooo I wasnt expecting that one...

So a mack snow and super mack snow produces super macks?

How come a blizzard and a super mack doesnt produce normals het for those morphs?

None of this morph stuff makes any sense lol.

Thanks.

Blizzard acts as a recessive gene where as the Mack Snow gene acts like a co-dominant one.

A Super Mack Snow (being the 'super' form) when put to a normal produces all Mack Snows therefore when put to a Blizzard all will be Mack Snows het Blizzard - put those together and one of the outcomes will be Mack Snow Blizzards!!

So if 2 hatchlings from the super mack and the blizzard were bred I would get mack snow blizzards?
Is that OK to do then I take it?

EDIT - obviously when they are ready I mean lol.

Thanks

I wouldn't say definatley!
I *think* that's what you'd get. I have a fairly stable knowledge of Leo morphs, but could have easily missed something - I'm no expert!
