hi all

i have worked this out, and a litter from these parents SHOULD produce the following:

50% - dh snow
50% - het anery

but i am not convinced, as i remember something about corns where this should but doesnt happen.

anyone know what the outcome would be, as its not on the boa genetics chart.

Alex

That's what you'll get, yes.

Anery crossed to het albino will produce half het anery only and half het anery and albino.

We HAD a three-bedroom house... Current lodgers: 1.0 E. c. maurus, 0.1 P. regius

so it will deffo be 50% dh snow?

fantastic...new breeding project then!

What the neonates will be is:

100% het anery, 50% het Albino = Possible DH Snow.

You might as well mention that the neonates are GUARANTEED to be het for anery seeing as they have one Anerythristic parent.

the litter would all be het anery 50% possible het albino's. Obviously you would have to breed them together or to another double het to find out. So if its a project you would have to hold back all the babies and breed them together and then hope that you pair up a dbl het pair! Plus the chances of a snow from a dbl het breeding are only 1-16 so its alot of chance involved in the hope of a snow.

I've heard you can tell in the first week which of the litter is het albino by the 'sparkle' in the eyes? Anyone have any first hand experience of this and know if it's proven? If so, he could just pick out the dh snows right off.

IT's a pointer, but it's not something that happens with every het albino.

I see another poster has beaten me to it.

The one drawback with a project like this is the amount of holdbacks you'd need to keep. Going from one pair of adult boas (when they reach adulthood) immediately upto, say 10 adult pairs is a large step.

Big financial and spacial commitment.
