I spend HOURS on the corn calculator!! My original project was to create Coral Snows, after many days playing with the corn calc, I found that by adding stripe to my snow, and lavendar to my hypo, I would get "powerhouse" normals, who would have the ability to produce 31 different morphs from TWO snakes! Including my much loved coral snows!

That's incredible!!!! I wonder if all colubrids have such potential....

Snakefood · 04-11-12, 10:20 AM

From what I am seeing most colubrids I know of (ie: corns, kings, rats) have many different morphs, so I would guess that yes, you could do the same thing with other colubrids.

it's a matter of how many seperate "genes" are in each snake, for instance:

A snow is a combination of the genes Amel and Anery
A snow stripe is Amel, Anery and stripe

Now breed that to a Hypo Lavendar and you get normal babies het for Amel, Anery, Stripe, Hypo and Lavendar.

Grow those babies to breeding age and out of them you have the possibility of having 31 different morphs come from those babies. Now it's not going to happen all in one clutch, but the genes are there to create all those morphs (not listing them, it would be too onerous!!)

I want an snowopal lol

Kingsnakechris · 04-11-12, 10:24 AM

So my cal. Kings both being 50% het albino, does that mean I might end up with different albinos because they are different patterns as it is ( normal black n white and black and yellow)

Kingsnakechris · 04-11-12, 10:24 AM

Hmmm, I don't know. 50% means they may not be het for it at all and you'll get banded kings, if you do get albino's, maybe some will be brighter than others??

I don't know kings. Is the yellow banded a different gene than the white banded, or is banded the gene and they vary from wht to yellow??
