leo breeding info etc

[snakemann87]

Well when I move I'm going to be getting a pair. I was thinking of a carrot tail and a patternless. But what i really wanna do is you know how if you breed a amel corn to a anery b(i think) together you get a snow?? Well what two leo morphs can do that?? You know Id like to make a new morph instead of hets. Also just regular breeding info would be GREAT!!

You have no leos and already you gonna breed a new morph? Have fun. :/

If you want regular breeding info, search the forums, or bring up google.
As far as breeding goes, it's whatever colors/morphs you fancy.
You may want to look up genetics, too.
Amel corns - lacking melanin
anery - lacking the color

Breed them together, and you get double hets(normal looking). Breed those hets together, and one in 16 will be snow - ie it displays both the traits of anery and amel animals.

sorry i know this isn't the place but you were talking about the amel and snow.

youkia i have an amel that i breed to my snow so does that mean the are going to come out double hets and look like normal corns.

whewwwwww genetics confuses the crap out of me

sorry to break in on that.


But ya snakeman i agree with alicewave have fun trying to make a new morph.

I'm not trying to make a WHOLE new morph I just asked what two morphs will create a new morph instead of 50/50 of those two morphs breed together. Kinda like Youkai said about the corns, how the two hets together will get a snow?

[Alicewave]

Ok I see. I misunderstood.

[snakemann87]

Its ok its hard to explain some stuff over the internet lol. Trust me if i thought there was ANY chance I would go for it. But hey...look at all the new morphs out maybe i could??? lol

So lacking melanin would be an albino leo

and lacking color wouild be a blizzard I think.

That would be a blazing blizzard, no one has managed to hatch one yet so it is a very long shot for any amatuer or even a pro at this time. For all we know these two traits together may not be compatible for life and that is why no blazing blizzard eggs have hatched.

What could work out for you is breeding albino patternless leos, those are already available but still fairly rare (read: pricey).

Actually, blazing blizzards <i>have</i> been hatched by a handful of breeders already. Two of those are VMS and Prehistoric Pets (who originally marketed blizzards.)

Blizzards are not quite the same as an anery animal. They still produce yellow pigment. I should have clarified, anery = lacking yellow and red pigment.
It has been speculated that blizzards are a further mutation on the patternless trait, and I'm inclined to agree.

A blazing blizzard, tremper line. This photo is from VMS Herpetoculture.

OK thank you guys alot! And WOW that is one nice looking leo. I hopefully will be getting a blizzard, albino patternless, and a hypo carrot tail.
