lavenders, bloodreds, blizzards, pewters

out of those dude i will have plenty of lavs planned this year, bloods will mostly be next and they will be plasma plans with those, pewters i should have this year... and i just dont like blizzards lol.... saying that, i hated lavs but got some in the end... i think the variation has got me a little now though with the recent new additions...

the bloodreds more for amanda, so i'll get one of those before the most expensive ones, to soften the blow and keep her happy(plus its a bonus for me as they are growing on me)

lav cubed, lav and opal stripes, lav, opal and hypo lav motleys..
i think the hypo lav stripes will be 2009

might be a stupid question but what does het actually mean every body keeps sayin it but i,m not sure wot it means is it similar to resecive

Tripper: Think of genes as like pairs of beads in a string. Each "gene locus" is one pair of beads - and an animal gets one bead from mum and one bead from dad.

If both of those beads are the same, the animal is "homozygous" for that gene.

If each bead is different, the animal is "heterozygous" or "het" for that gene.

In corn snakes so far, most "not-wildtype" genes are recessive - so, for example, a "het for amelanistic" animal has one "amelanistic" bead and one "Not-amelanistic" bead. Because "Not-Amelanistic" is dominant, you get an animal that isn't amelanistic looking - but if it's bred to an animal who is or carries amelanistic, it can produce visual amelanistic offspring if it hands over that "Amelanistic" bead.

However, I'm sure we'll find or prove out a Dominant, Codominant or Incomplete Dominant corn snake gene eventually - we have with leopard geckos, so there's probably SOMETHING out there! In the cases of dominant, codominant and incomplete dominant genes, a "het" animal might not look normal at all!

I'll have a go:

You have the following males:
Amelanistic, Snow, Butter, Anery het Snow Motley and a Normal Het Hypo.

You have the following females:
Amelanistic X2, Snow, Ghost, Lavender het motley.

What crosses had you personally considered?

The crosses *I* would make would be:

Cross your Amels (which includes the Reverse Okee - that's just a selectively bred Amel) with your Anery het Snow Motley. Out of these, you'll get:

50% normal het snow, 50% chance het motley.
50% Amel het anery, 50% chance het motley.

And if you get any Anery or Snow babies, you know that the amel in question is also het Anery.

I'd put the Snow male to the ghost and the other snow - that way, you'll get snows from the snow and Anery het hypo and amel offspring from the ghost. Conversely, you could put the ghost to the normal het hypo and get some normals het ghost and some hypos het ghost.

I'd be tempted to put your Butter poss het motley male to your Lavender het motley female. This would result in all normals who are triple het for lavender, caramel and amelanistic, and possibly some Motleys. The animals I've seen who are presumed visual Lavender/Caramels (which would be the F2 generation of this cross) are VERY interesting peachy things.
