I've recently acquired an 08 Hypo corn from CPR, he is het for bloodred, ghost and motley. What would be a good female to eventually breed him with.

....on a side note he is currently just under 3' and 210g fairly empty. Would he be large enough to breed in 2010?

At that weight yes he'll definitely be ready for next year, sounds like he could easily have been ready this year too.
With regards to a female though it depends very much what you wish to breed.

If I wanted some bloodreds would the female need to be het for bloodred? Or could I have a female that is het for something else, and have an even more varied clutch? Would the hypo part come through into some of the offspring?

I'd quite like to have a lavender female, or some kind of stripe.

In order to get anything other than normals (with various hets and possible hets) you need to breed like to like.

The ingredients you HAVE are:

Hypo
Bloodred
Anery
Motley

Therefore, your female needs to be either visual or het for one or more of these.

If you want bloodreds, you need a female who is het or homozygous bloodred.
If you want anery you need a female who is het or homozygous anery.
If you want hypo you need a female who is het or homozygous hypo.
If you want motley you need a female who is het or homozgyous Motley OR Stripe (because these are two flavours of the same trait).

Breeding a Lavender to your male would produce normals het for Hypo, Lavender and possible het for bloodred, anery and motley.

Breeding a Stripe to your male would produce normals het for Hypo, Stripe and possible het for bloodred, anery; it'd also produce Motleys het Stripe, Hypo, possible het bloodred and anery.

Thanks that makes sense. I'll keep an eye out for a het for bloodred then.

Would there be anyway for me to get ghost bloodreds, from pairing this one with a female?
