corn morph breeding question

[Snakefood]

Specifically the different "localities" of Normals.

So If I breed an Okeetee to a non Okeetee, and the corn calc says the babies will be "Normals" will those Normals look like the mamma Okeetee, or a "Carolina?? (which many seem to deem as the "true normal"

[KORBIN5895]

Bump! I am pretty sure you will get corn snakes. ;)

[Snakefood]

thththththth!!!!!!!! smartass!!!!

[Trent]

I think plain normals,but I havent breed corns in years:crazy:

[theapexgerman]

yea they will plain but the baby's if you breed them together they will have a chance when the lay for those baby's to be the morphs

[jaleely]

why wouldn't the babies be otakees? some recessive thing i guess

[beardeds4life]

I have no idea because they are both sort of "normals"

[Snakefood]

right, that's what I am saying. If NORMAL X AMEL on the corn calc = narmals het amel. And Okeetee IS a normal type, wouldn't they look like the mamma Okeetee.

Although when you look at Ian's vivarium, he lists the "wild types/Localities" as the
1) Miami
2) Keys
3) normal - Carolina
4) Okeetee

So I'm thinking now that the true "plain" or "normal" is actually the Carolina and all others are localities. But I can't actually work it out on the corn calculator because Okeetee, Miami or Keys are not options on the calculator, only "NORMAL"

thththththth!!!!!!!! smartass!!!!

Hey! I was just being helpful and bumping it for you! Is okeetee a dominant or recessive gene? If its dominant then you should get both should you not?

[Snakefood]

I know and thanks!! it was the cornsnake comment commenet that caused the smartass comment!!;)

I'll check into the dominant/recessive gene. I gues I dumbly assumed that the wild types would all be dominant!! (smacks seld if forhead!)

[KORBIN5895]

What! I give you some deep insight and I flies right over your head! Why are you calling me names!?!? ( I keep checking my custom title to make sure Wayne hasn't changed it to that on a whim)

Oh, where is the right emoticon when you need it!!!! LMAO

I would think that it would be more bland colored than a true Okeetee but the pattern would be close. Unless you breed an insanely colored Okeetee to an insanely colored Okeetee you will get bland normal's of random variety. Then again I haven't looked a ton into it because I will never breed..

This makes sense since in Corns, all the produced morphs that Ive ever heard of are genetically recessive. When I had my bloodred stripe (2 recessive genes that were homozygous in that snake) I bought my amel from a local breeder with the plan to breed them together producing triple het normals. Then I was going to breed 2 of them together to produce a wide variety of morphs in hopes of producing a fire stripe. That plan had to proceed this way due to that recessive nature in these morphs.

Breed a okeetee to a Carolina and you will get a corn that looks like.... well.... a cross between the 2. Basically, by breeding those 2 together, you are muddying your bloodlines. You want okeetees, breed to okeetees together, you want Carolinas, breed 2 Carolinas together and so on with the localitys. I hope that answered your question.
