I would actually agree with the other 2 posts, and say your odds are not very good. To my knowledge, the red devil has only been produced once, by Jeremy Stone. And yes it was stillborn.



I talked to Jeremy about it, and he believes he has the genes all figured out. He believes that breeding a hypo mot x hypo mot would give him a 1 in 64 chance of a red devil. Only reason he would get the red devil is because both parents would carry the hypo gene, while you are going to attempt to breed only one animal with the hypo gene.



I am not a genuis when it comes to genes, but here is my take on it.....



It has yet to be completely proven, but so far it is looking like the hypo gene and motley gene do not travel together into offspring. They seperate. Therefor breeding a hypo motley to a normal would only give you motleys, hypos, and normals. Not producing any hypo motleys. That being said, breeding a hypo mot x hypo mot will actually produce hypo motley offspring, but it is because the hypo gene comes from one parent, the motley gene would come from the other.



I personally would try your pairing just for the sake of proving things a little further, but I really would not get my hopes up of producing a red devil or sun devil. My honest opinion says the Red Devil was a freak snake that unfortunately didn't survive, woulda been awesome if it did! I don't think it will prove out genetic. Hope I am wrong though, its happened before! lol
