what would kind of corns would I get if I breed a ghost with a normal.

All of the babys would look normal, and possible heterozygous for ghost.

Depends on if the normal is het for anything. Ghost is anery & hypo combined. If all the babies come out as normals they will all be het for anery & hypo. If you get hypos you know the normal is het hypo, if you get anerys the normal is het anery. If any ghosts are in there the normal is het anery & hypo. If you get any amels it means both snakes are het amel. If there are any snows in there it means they are both het amel & the normal is also het anery. Confused yet LOL Mark

I'm confused to. I guess I'm going to read back over that gen site.

Corey85 your answer is correct based on the normal being just a normal with no hidden hets, except for they would not be possibly het for ghost they would be 100% het for ghost (ghost as mentioned being a combo of both anery & hypo). Its easier to think in terms of anery, amel & hypo, all sim ple recessive genes. whenever a visual morph of them is bred to something that doesn't visually display that morph all the offspring will be het for those genes. If the "normal" snake already has some of those hidden recessive genes you will get some babies that are visable morphs depending on what the snake had for hidden hets. Its all pretty confusing & thats just the basic genes, there are lots of more complicated things to figure for other genes as well. Check out punnet squares that may help some, when it comes to het to het breedings as that gets even more confusing. Mark
