So let me understand this correctly.

The mother of this one you just had (congrats) is a pastel 66% het granite.

The father of this baby is also the father of the mother? Who also happens to be a pastel 66% het for granite?

If this is the case what was the original pairing to get the mother? I ask because as it stands to get the fathers offspring to be 66% the father would have to been bred to a 100% het female. And if the father produced a granite he would be considered 100% and thus the mother would be 50% and not 66%.

Now if the father was bred to a "normal" or another snake not carrying the granite gene then the babies would all be 33% het for granite and not 66%.

The good news in either case if this mother produced a granite then the odds were really in your favour
