Breeding boas.

[KORBIN5895]

If I breed my male 100% het for albino with a hypo female 66% het ph kahl albino what would I get? What are the odds for albinos and what the heck is a Ph kahl albino anyway? I figured you gets would have a way better idea than Google( especially since I can't find squat on Google. )

[millertime89]

dunno about the ph, but a kahl albino is just a reference to the original breeder, it comes from his strand of albino morphs

[snake man12]

I'd say around fifty fifty but some one with a little more experience know a better awnser

[youngster]

66% het means there's a 66% chance your snake is het. Either it's het or it's not het. If your snake is indeed het I think you'd get either 1/8 or 1/4 albinos?

[millertime89]

I know what the 100% het means, but what does the 66% het mean? How does that work?

[millertime89]

if there's less than 100% chance its het, I wouldn't bother. Find another het or a snake that the gene is displayed in.

[UwabamiReptiles]

ph stands for "possible het". So when you breed to hets together, the babies that aren't visuals of the recessive mutation are considered 66% possible het. When you breed two hets together, you get 25% visual morph, 25% normals, and 50% het for the recessive mutation. They call them 66% possible hets because there is no way to tell a normal from a het. So with 25% being normal and 50% being actual hets, there is a 2 in 3 chance that the normal looking animals will be hets. Thus making them 66% hets. So you could buy a possible het and it could be a normal or a het. Its a gamble really.

[millertime89]

in other woods, its not worth it
IMO anyways.

So what if I breed my 100% het with a regular? And if I breed him with an albino I will get albinos, correct?

[youngster]

100% het x albino= albinos
100% het x normal= normals and hets, in other words all possible hets.

[bladeblaster]

100% het x albino= albinos
100% het x normal= normals and hets, in other words all possible hets.


100% het x albino = 1/2 albinos 1/2 normals all normals being 66% PH albino.

[youngster]

100% het x albino = 1/2 albinos 1/2 normals all normals being 66% PH albino.

I knew that but he was asking if he would get albinos so I said that. Little confusing but whatever. :P

[Shmoges]

Your 66% could just be a normal too and then you would just get het albinos... but years later you could breed the offspring back to the 100% and get albinos...

[KORBIN5895]

Mine is 100% het

[Shmoges]

yes the one but I am talking about the 66% that's just a statistical assumption that isn't proven until bred.

[millertime89]

Your 66% could just be a normal too and then you would just get het albinos... but years later you could breed the offspring back to the 100% and get albinos...

except if you breed a het albino with a normal you won't know if ANY are het.
