>>So, you have your female het snow. Since both traits involved are simple recessive, let's treat the possibility of her having both traits as 50% (IE, Female 50% het for Snow). This could be 66% too, depending on what *her* heritage was. You may or may not know this yourself. Then you multiply that percentage by the punnet square percentages you calculated. For example:
Snow 12.5% X 50% het for Snow = 6.25%

The female's father is the one we bred her to. And her mother is a solid 10 lbs of normal (likely a wild caught from more than 16 years ago)... so until proven otherwise it would 50% correct?


>> For the small numbers you are talking about, a single clutch of Ball Python eggs, anything goes. You could get all Hets, or you may even get all Snows. I only warn you of this because it is the common gambler's fallacy. A lot of what you get out of one clutch is punnet squares, praying, and luck. This is also why a Het can be proven in a single clutch, but may take a dozen to disprove.

yes I am totally aware of the roulette wheel nature of the game LOL. I think we won this particular gambling round.

Male: '05 Jolliff Axanthic Het Snow
Female: '07 DH Jolliff Snow

8 egg clutch. First time breeding for the female.

First baby out of the egg... SNOW

Also out of the egg: 1 Axanthic and 1 normal (either het axan or dh snow).

Still in the egg looks like 2 Axanthics and 3 albinos (or 2 albinos 1 snow)
