as to the videos, i will watch them, i understand the punnett squares. and i am getting this whole thing down slowly.

Yup! its just good to have stuff reinforced though

Just think of every individual of having ___% chance to become something.

So say you breed an albino (bb) to a 100% het albino (Bb), you'll get 50% chance of a het albino and 50% chance of an albino.

You could get 100% albinos you could get 100% hets, you could get any mix in between..

so instead of looking at "a clutch of 5 has a ___ chance of ___" just look at it as each individual hatchling has a 50% (or whatever) chance of albino and 50% chance of being a 100% het for albino (since with a bb you wont end up with any normals)

I hope that wasn't confusing..

basically you just have no idea exactly how many you will get or the combination of morphs, hets, etc.

You could combine two 100% hets and get all normals if you're really unlucky, its all just % chances on individual snakes

that really sums it up... i understand the genetics, the percentages are really throwing me off. Say i pair a Pastel, and Mojave.. since they are both dominate, i will get pastels, mojaves, normal or pastaves? each egg having a %25 chance of being either one of the above..

i hope i got that right, i could be way off... i think i am thinking too much into it. lol



NEW TOPIC:

here are a list of what morphs i am getting
pastel
mojave
spider
cinnamon
lesser
black pastel


i dont know what ration of male to female i should get though? like said b4, i was thinking of getting a few male pastels, since they make some cool stuff.. so i can breed 2 males to all females... or could i just use 1 male and breed to like... 4-5 females?

should iget ALL females, and just use 2 total males ?

this is what i really dont understand.
